Following considerable advocacy regarding the need to address the road condition and safety of the ‘bookends’ on either side of Kin Kin Range, with works well underway at the northern end, the Minister for Transport and Main Roads has just announced the following (in italics) in relation to the southern end:
Detailed design on the two priority areas to widen and strengthen the road
The design investigation will focus on widening and strengthening between Williams Road and Western Branch Road (Stage 2), and between Sallwood Court and Turnbull Road (Stage 3).
A detailed design tender has been awarded to ARUP Group and is expected to be complete by mid-2024.
The latest projects will add to works currently underway to widen almost 800m north of the Kin Kin range which is expected to be completed mid-year.
These latest works are on top of the $1.5 million dollars invested in widening 1.5km of Kin Kin Road.
