The Steels Creek Road Rehabilitation project is a step closer to fruition.
Yarra Ranges Councillors awarded the $1.6 million contract to Bitu-mill at their Tuesday 24 July meeting.
Works are expected to start in August and be completed within 80 Master Builders Association of Victoria (MBAV) calendar days.
The project will include road stabilisation, driveway crossings, kerb and channel and underground drainage between Hubbard and Gulf roads, and Gulf Road and Pinnacle Lane.
The council report said the existing road pavements in these areas were beyond their service life and had large areas of failure and deformation.
“Rehabilitation of road pavements is required to continue the service of the current road assets,” it said.
