November 20th, 2024Road resealing works start for Hepburn shire

The Hepburn Shire Council last week started its bituminous road reseal season by stabilising patching on selected roads.

As part of its $450k contract awarded in September, the council’s contractor started work in Creswick.

Stabilised patching helps enhance road pavements using cement or other additives, and the council issued a social media post confirming that it will also be resealing selected roads over the summer.

The patching program will focus on preparing roads for resealing before tackling other areas in the shire that need some improvement work.

The council’s works teams are also busy repairing pavements, especially around West Berry Road in Allandale, the council confirmed in a social media post.

It is appealing to road users to help keep the workers safe by following all traffic signs.
