Burra Adelaide Road Route Discussed By District Council
At the Burra District Council meeting advice was given on the proposed road from Black Springs to Hanson and then to Burra. The plan would bypass Burra via a direct line from Brown’s residence toward Cippeth house and aim for a straighter route with fewer turns, depending on funds. Some residents fear bypassing Burra, while officials note the new alignment may be shorter or not, but promises a direct path from Black Springs to Hanson.
