Reconstruction works on important local road to begin soon

Lockyer Valley Regional Council will soon begin works on a full reconstruction of Old Laidley Forest Hill Road.

The project will see a 340-metre section of the road undergo a full reconstruction, including widening of the existing pavement and a culvert replacement.

Council’s Infrastructure Portfolio Councillor, Michael Hagan thanked the community for its patience as Council begins this important upgrade.

“Crews will work on one side of the road at a time, leaving one lane, under trailer mounted traffic lights, operating at all times.

“Motorists can expect a maximum wait time of around five minutes while these works restore the structural integrity of this important local road.
“Roads are very important for Council and for our community and this important project will ensure much safer and comfortable travel for our residents,” Cr Hagan said.

Works are expected to begin at the end of June and take around eight to ten weeks, weather pending.

This $484,500 project is funded by the Australian Government’s Black Spots Program.
