Background

Range Road is a two lane sealed road with a speed limit of 60 km/hr. It has a traffic count of 607 and a heavy vehicle percentage of 10.28 per cent.

Sections of the road pavement have been found to be in very poor condition including poor drainage, failed asphalt surface and narrow road width.

This road section requires new pavement sought for approximately 2 km between George Emery Lane to Tourist Road. The works include the installation of new stormwater drainage and subsoil drainage, fence and service relocations, dish gutter construction, vegetation removal, shoulder widening and associated works.

Range Road is a local road located 5 km southeast of Bowral and Glenquarry and it is the main road that is often used to access Bowral town centre and the Wollongong area.

Community impacts

The road is fully closed during the works, however access to emergency vehicles and residents is being maintained throughout the works. The construction works are staged to ensure minimal disruption and inconvenience to road users and neighbouring properties.

Road users and pedestrians are cautioned to be aware of heavy machinery and workers in the area, follow the changed traffic conditions, and exercise care when travelling through the work zones. Signage will be placed on site to inform motorists.
