November 22, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Council road crews have been working on projects around the region over the past month, despite being interrupted by storms during October.<\/p>\n

Roads portfolio chair Cr Gavin Jones told November’s Council meeting that during October and November, a construction crew had been upgrading Niagara Road at Boyneside as part of a contract with AGL to improve access to Coopers Gap Wind Farm.<\/p>\n

The ongoing work involved widening the road and extending existing drainage pipes.<\/p>\n

In Kingaroy, workers have begun laying a concrete footpath linking the State School in Alford Street with the high school in Markwell Street.<\/p>\n

Work has also begun on the upgrade of Logan Street in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

In Blackbutt, stormwater pipes have been ordered and a concrete crew expects to begin laying them in early December.<\/p>\n

Other projects that have recently been completed are the installation of a new pedestrian bridge in Haly Street, Wondai; a new concrete footpath in Fitzroy Street, Kingaroy, near St Mary’s Catholic College; and the $1.8 million Rogers Drive roundabout in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Shoulder grading on narrow sections of the Mundubbera-Durong Road at Boondooma, and various sections of Kingaroy-Barkers Creek Road, Kingaroy-Cooyar Road and the Bunya Highway has also been done.<\/p>\n

During November and December, maintenance crews will be carrying out heavy formation grades on Beutels Road near Cushnie; Nords Road and Red Tank Road in the Boyneside area; and Youngman Road.<\/p>\n

The Memerambi-Barkers Creek Road between Corndale and the Burnett Highway and Coverty Road at Cushnie will both be getting gravel resheeting.<\/p>\n

Other heavy grading or resheeting projects penned in for attention include Jorgensens Road and Rex Schultzs Road near Cushnie; and Weeks Road near Boonenne.<\/p>\n
