A ROAD upgrade project costing taxpayers $333,000 per kilometre is progressing on the Northern Rivers.
The resurfacing works for the Lismore Bangalow Rd is an $11 million project, and has now progressed to the second stage of work, which includes resurfacing 33km and building a new overtaking lane.
Regional Transport and Roads Minister Paul Toole said the project was supporting 10 direct jobs at a time when they’re needed most in regional NSW, while improving safety for all road users.
“Materials are being sourced from local suppliers,” he said.
“And the project is also employing local contractors, helping the NSW Government deliver on its commitment to maintaining jobs in regional communities.”
