Work is continuing on the $4.7 million worth of improvements to the northbound lanes of the Hume Highway, near the southern entrance into the township of Bowning.
Transport for NSW Regional Director South Cassandra Ffrench said
work on the next instalment to repair the road pavement on the 1.1-kilometre section of highway will start on Monday 24 February and involve milling and replacing the existing road surface to improve safety and extend the life of the road.“This essential maintenance and important improvements will increase safety for motorists, extend the life of the road and cut down maintenance costs for this stretch,” Ms Ffrench said.
This latest work follows the installation of median crossovers in November to facilitate the upcoming pavement improvement work.
Work will be carried out Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 8am to 1pm, and is expected to take around eight weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Northbound lanes will be closed throughout the work, with a contraflow and reduced speeds in place for the safety of motorists and workers. Bowning Road (West) will be closed for the duration of the work, with detours in place to direct traffic to the Bowning Road (East) intersection with the Hume Highway.
Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, follow the directions of signs and traffic control, and allow an additional 10 minutes travel time.
