ROADWORKS IN PROGRESS - GIRRAL ROAD, GIRRAL
Bland Shire Council advises residents and motorists that essential road works have commenced on Girral Road, Girral, as part of our commitment to maintaining and improving local infrastructure.
Site preparation has commenced on Girral Road, and culvert installation will be commencing in the coming days. This will impact part of the travel path of the road while culverts are installed in one travel lane. Temporary lane closures will
occur from 6am to 6pm 7 days a week. This is for the safety of both workers and motorists.
Council advises motorists to expect reduced speed limits in the areas of work, temporary lane shifts and detours where necessary. UHF Radio communications will be possible between heavy vehicles and on-site traffic control. Please obey all traffic signs and detours.
Council acknowledges that the timing of these works during harvest is highly inconvenient. However, due to the scope of the necessary repairs, it was essential to carry out the work as soon as possible.
Council apologises for the inconvenience caused while these works are undertaken and thank the community for their understanding.
For further updates and information please contact Council office on 02 6972 2266
