Council will commence stage 1 road structure testing on Monday the 16th June for a period of 3 weeks (day and night, weather permitting) in over 60 different locations in various streets across Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland, Hampton, Little Hartley, Capertee, Rydal, Kanimbla and Lowther.
The testing is to give Council Engineers an understanding of what various roads are made up of, how stable they are and what life expectancy they have.
This type of testing occurs with no excavation, minimal traffic disruption and each site is assessed in a short period of time. The data collected will inform planning for road repairs and rehabilitation to the road network over the coming years.
To ensure it is done as efficiently and with as little disruption as possible Council's contractor, Durkin will undertake testing both day and night. The images show the type of vehicle conducting the testing, should you see them in your area, you will know what they are doing.
Should you have any questions please call Councils Infrastructure department on 6354 9999.
