Local member for Monaro Steve Whan says Transport for NSW will be carrying out 1.9 kilometres of repair work to the road surface and installing safety barriers on Kosciuszko Road from the south of Eucumbene Road to Geikle Creek.
“Kosciuszko Road is an important connection between Cooma and Jindabyne, and during the snow season functions as the main route for visitors heading to the Alpine region,” he says.
“By upgrading Kosciuszko Road, we are improving safety for all road users accessing these areas including freight, residents and tourists.”
“Work will continue replacement of nine stormwater pipes, pavement repair over 1.9 kilometres, installation of one kilometre of safety barriers across four sections, and improvements to the road shoulders including shoulder widening at Spring Hill Road intersection.”
Whan says this maintenance and safety improvement work will improve customer journeys and safety for all road users by providing a smooth road surface with uniform widths.
Work will begin on Monday October 21 between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday for six months, weather permitting.
Changed traffic conditions including stop/slow traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h will be in place.
Motorists should follow the directions of signs and traffic control and allow for up to five minutes of additional travel time.
Work will pause between Wednesday 20 December 2024 and Monday 13 January 2025.
