Road Resurfacing Projects

Road Resurfacing

The majority of the City's roads deteriorate due to the environment with asphalt life expectancy of 15 - 25 years.

If all road networds are resurfaced every 1 in 20 years this would require resurfacing of 60,000 square metres per annum. If roads are not resurfaced they cross from poor condition to very poor condition very quickly. This can casue safety issues and it will increase the cost of restoration.

Road resurfacing generally includes;

• Kerb removal and preparation works - kerbing will be replaced and upgraded with a new standard semi-mountable kerbing. Where necessary reticulation will be temporarily re-routed. The City will repair any reticulation that is damaged during the works.
• Installation of new drainage pits - new soak well pits will be installed at appropriate locations to avoid clashes with service utilities and for effective road drainage.
• Road Profiling, and
• Road resurfacing.
