Black Spot funded road safety improvements on Sydenham Inlet Road in Bemm River were completed in December 2023. 

About the Project: 

Road safety improvement works aim to improve safety for road users. Works will focus on a downhill winding section of road toward the township of Bemm River implementing road safety treatments to treat the highest incident location on Sydenham Inlet Road.

These works will improve user safety as well as increase opportunities for cycling. 

The treatments included are at locations identified via road inspections and are aligned with recorded accident data on this road.

Project Scope: 

Installation of 1.9km of new line marking, including dragon teeth corner indicators, warning and delineation signage, guideposts, installation of guard rail with rub rail and rated end terminals around a very tight bend. 

Budget: 

This project has been funded through Australian Government Black Spot Program 2022/2023
