Palana Rd Update

 Updates to Palana Rd project

• Grading and overlay preparation will start this Friday 4th Feb at Five Mile Jim Rd and finish on Monday 7th Feb at Fairhaven Rd.
• This will include the addition of crushed rock where required, grading and levelling of the road in preparation for pavement stabilisation/strengthening.

• Stage 1 will see the stabilisation of 5km of pavement planned to start at Five Mile Jim Rd and head south.
• This process involves mixing cement into the base layers of the road to provide longer-lasting road base and preparation for bitumen surfacing.

• Stage 2 will complete the remaining 1.5km of stabilisation on Palana Rd.

• Spray sealing will be completed in two layers to seal the prepared surface and provide a wearing surface to the pavement.
• Between stabilising and sealing there will be water carts operating along the length of completed works to keep dust down and preserve the surface.
