Yass Valley Way rehabilitation

The newly rehabilitated Yass Valley Way will be officially declared open tomorrow by Goulburn MP Wendy Tuckerman, Yass Valley Mayor Rowena Abbey and General Manager Chris Berry.

The busy section of road linking the Barton Highway with the Hume Highway was identified for major upgrade due to the high volume of heavy vehicles and local traffic utilising the stretch on a daily basis.

The $1,855,580 project was jointly funded by the NSW Government under the Fixing Country Roads Program and Yass Valley Council.

Fixing Country Bridges Program Grant

Council accepted a grant offer of $288,000 under the NSW Fixing Country Bridges Grant Program for the replacement of the Bango Lane timber road bridge. Council will contribute $50,000 from the State Roads Reserve and the project will be included in the 2020/21 Operational Plan.
