Council’s 2024/25 road reseal program is underway, with essential maintenance and renewal works planned across the Tweed.
Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said the annual program will run from September 2024 through to February 2025 and is a vital part of Council’s commitment to ensuring the Tweed’s 1,200 km road network remains in good shape.
“This year, Council is investing $3.6 million across 50 km in the road reseal program, which is part of our $22 million annual roads budget,” Mr Rose said.
“This investment helps extend the lifespan of our roads, lower long-term maintenance costs and ensure a safer network for everyone.”
While some roads may appear to be in good condition, they are selected for resealing based on factors such as condition, age, crash history, traffic volume and other infrastructure needs like water and sewerage upgrades.
The resealing process helps to protect and extend the life of bitumen surfaces by applying a hot bitumen layer and stone, creating a waterproof and durable coating that withstands traffic, weather and temperature changes.
To help ensure public safety and quality of the work, Council requests road users and pedestrians avoid resealed roads unless authorised by on-site crews.
Brief traffic delays may occur due to lane closures and Council appreciates the community's patience during these essential works.
