Resealing works will commence on priority sections of identified roads across Mansfield Shire on Tuesday 14 March as part of Mansfield Shire Council’s road asset renewal program included in the 2022-23 Budget.

Boral Pty Ltd was awarded the $515,276 contract with resealing works planned to be complete by Tuesday 21 March, with allowance in the program for wet weather.

The existing sealed sections of the following roads have been prepared and stabilised and are now scheduled to undergo resealing works:

  • Ancona Road, Ancona
  • Barwite Road, Barwite
  • Bon Crescent, Bonnie Doon
  • Graves Road, Mansfield
  • Hearns Road, Boorolite
  • Mimosa Drive, Merrijig
  • Monkey Gully Road, Mansfield
  • School Lane, Merrijig

Resealing works include spraying a layer of bitumen onto the road, laying gravel on top, rolling the surface of the road, then finally brushing off any excess gravel to give a new sealed road. Works are scheduled with care to achieve the best sealing outcome and durability of the new road surface.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said Council are listening to community feedback and continuing to review and prioritise roads for inclusion in the resealing program.

“We are committed to listening to the community and delivering on the improvement, safety and reliability of our roads.

“When selecting roads for inclusion in the program, Council considers community feedback, traffic and the effects of heavy vehicles.

“We understand how important our road network is for our economy. We look forward to seeing these works take place over the coming month,” he said.

Traffic management will be in place between 7.00 am and 5.00 pm with a reduced speed limit of 40km/h while works are underway in these areas. Access to affected businesses and premises will be maintained during these times. Drivers are advised to travel safely and follow the directions of traffic controllers and road signage when travelling in the area.
