Check out MidCoast Council's scheduled works for roads, bridges and footpaths across the region over the next two weeks.
Council's fortnightly update is a rough guide to when and where roadworks will occur. Allow extra travel time when driving in any of the impacted areas and expect minor delays at most of these locations. Roadwork schedules are subject to change due to contractor availability and weather conditions. Significant projects will have separate updates with additional information.

It's important to remember that pothole patching is a temporary solution to improve road safety in the short-term. Teams work quickly to fill as many potholes as possible when weather permits. The ongoing wet weather has made it difficult to attend to all the pothole locations. More permanent solutions such as the square-shaped repair called 'heavy patching' is undertaken when weather conditions and funding permit.
