Scheduled Works - March/April 2020

Maintenance Grading and Works schedule

To notify Yass Valley Council of damage to roads, fallen trees, burst water mains etc please call - 6226 1477 or complete an online Customer Service Request.

The recent climatic conditions continue to prove challenging for ongoing road maintenance activities with recent heavy rainfall causing localised washouts on some roads. Targeted unsealed road maintenance is being undertaken to improve road drainage (and identify possible new locations where drainage may be required), reshape and widen roads, remove roadside vegetation and re-use the accumulation of gravel along the side of the road as part of the unsealed grading program. Unsuitable material is also being removed from the road edge to assist in allowing water to drain from the road surface and is not used on the road. Additionally, more signs and guideposts will appear on the road sides as we implement this program to improve road safety and better road definition. The extent of this work varies on each road and may delay the expected commencement dates of some roads listed but not the order of roads being graded.

While this work will take some time to complete it will allow our roads to better cope with normal upcoming rain events while at the same enable an assessment of road conditions to be conducted as we move through the Council area to ensure that depleting suitable natural gravel supplies are used responsibly.

Works completed or in the progress for the period 9 June - 12 June

Where works have been delayed, the previously advised dates have been revised to reflect changes to the program, brought about by unexpected delays in current projects caused by weather, additional works required, machinery breakdowns and the like. Please refer to the Proposed Works listing below for updated information.
