Somerset roads to be resealed
Mount Kilcoy and Sandy Creek roads are set to get bitumen resealed roads starting this week, as Somerset Council started its bitumen reseal program on Monday, January 13.
The program, to be undertaken by RPQ Group, will be resealing the following roads, weather permitting, between January and early February:
Arnolds Road North
Beaconsfield Road
Freewood Drive
Kerrs Lane
McCauleys Lane
Serafini Drive
Traves Road
Wunulla Lane
Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said the work was a preventative road maintenance technique.
“This work will increase road surface texture for better tyre friction, prevent potholes from forming, prevent oxidation, and generally create good driving conditions,” he said.
“Fixing roads and potholes is costly and time-consuming, which can be negated by good maintenance practices like resealing.”
Cr Wendt said the reseal work would create some loose material on the roads for a few weeks while the surface settles.
“Please drive to the road conditions and reduce your speed when approaching other road users,” he said.
