We are committed to delivering top-quality
services to our community by establishing and maintaining high-performance road
infrastructure.
Currently, we are working to find the most suitable materials for our unsealed
roads. Through extensive geotechnical research, we have identified 5 promising
materials in laboratory conditions.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of how these materials perform in
real-life scenarios, we need to conduct trials on road segments and closely
monitor them over time. Our aim is to discover the best locally available
material that can provide the highest level of service to our community.
For this purpose, we have selected a 2000-meter stretch of Evans Road between
Anakie Road and Lovely Banks Road in Lovely Banks for these trials. We anticipate
completing these trials by year-end and monitoring the materials' performance
for the next 12 months.
The insights gained from these trials will guide our material choices for the
wider network of gravel roads throughout the municipality, ensuring we continue
to meet the needs of our community effectively.
Project updates will be available on this webpage.
