Tar Surfacing Work Questioned By Municipal Council
The Department of Main Roads told the council that surfacing Trunk road 63 cannot exceed 16 feet from the school corner to the shire boundary. The department planned 20 feet from Stoddart Haywards corner and 18 feet at bridge approaches with 16 feet to the boundary. Council estimates assumed 18 feet to the railway station and council members argued the road from the school corner to the railway station carries peak traffic. If the department won’t fund the extra two feet, the council may fund it at about £60 to £70, to keep the 18 foot width on the busy section.
