Four major road projects under way around the shire may cause some delays for Macedon Ranges drivers next month.
Several footpath, road and drainage infrastructure projects have already started or are about to begin as part of the council‘s works program.
Assets and operations director Dale Thornton said stage two road reconstruction works at Sandy Creek Road, Riddells Creek would add an extra 764 metres of 6.6 metre-wide road seal on the existing surface, valued at $160,000.
“Road renewal works will begin shortly in Smith Street and Victoria Street, Macedon,” Mr Thornton said, including the entrance to Macedon railway station carpark.
“The road pavement will be rehabilitated and a new 6.6 metre wide asphalt surface will be applied.”
Mr Thornton said Couangalt Road at South Gisborne would get a $390,000 reconstruction from the intersection of Benson and McGeorge Roads, east to Heard Crescent.
“Fisher Street, Gisborne, will have $110,000 in kerb and channel and minor asphalt works on the north side … works will aim to improve site drainage in the area. Council will aim to minimise overall disruption to the community during the works,” Mr Thornton said.
He said all four projects would be completed next month, weather permitting.
