Newmerella - Roadside Rest Area Improvements
This project is now complete.
The Newmerella Roadside Rest Area improvements have revitalised the visitor rest-stop and gateway to the Rail Trail. The redevelopment of the rest area adjacent to the Princes Highway at Newmerella has provided more defined and safer access for heavy vehicle operators and the travelling public through improvement of traffic management, surfacing and drainage works.
The scope of the works include:
- Kerb and channel installation works for safe movement of heavy vehicles and general traffic
- Road pavement repair
- Asphalt resurfacing
- Formalisation of five heavy vehicle parking pays
- line marking and signage.
- Installation of drainage pits and pipes
- Renewal of road signage
Copies of the information sheet and concept plans are still available at the Orbost Service Centre - 1 Ruskin Street, Orbost.
This project is funded by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development through the Small Road Projects program.
