$7.8M Road Re-Sealing Program Commences

Road users are reminded to take care when navigating areas where road re-sealing is underway at various locations over the next four months.

The $7.8M road re-sealing project commenced this week at the Whitsunday Coast Airport Road and will continue to be rolled-put on specific roads across the region until March 2025.

Council urges motorists to take care, stay alert and be considerate to others:

“Please note, that as re-seals occur, line marking cannot be completed for approximately three weeks until bitumen or asphalt has properly cured. Please ensure you drive to conditions, particularly in wet weather,” said a Council issued statement.

“We will endeavour to minimise impacts on the community with works being completed in small sections, one lane remaining open at any one time and nightworks occurring on highly trafficked roads.

“Please exercise patience around road works and ensure the safety of our workers so they all make it home for Christmas.”
