GEORGE NEWS - The rehabilitation of Airway Road and associated roundabouts will impact road users for the next five months, from May to September.
The works comprise the rehabilitation of 685m of Airway Road.
The work will entail milling and removal of existing bituminous surface layers and gravel base layers, addition of material and cold in-situ recycling of the subbase layer, placing of new bituminous base and surface layers and reconstruction of kerbs and channels where required.
For the roundabouts, work will be done to increase the entry and exit radius of three roundabouts in Airway Road, in Heather Park, between Meent Street and Plattner Boulevard.
Traffic deviations and congestion can be expected, with unplanned municipal services disruptions during the construction period.
The road will be re-constructed in half-widths, with Airway Road operated as one way in the direction of travel, alternating depending on the lane being constructed, while access will be restricted to property owners within the lane being constructed.
Drivers are requested to make use of Wattle Road as an alternative route during the construction period.
There will be height differences along the road while construction work is in progress. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians must exercise extreme caution, especially during wet conditions, when visibility is poor, and at night. Vehicles with low profile tyres and motorcyclists must take extra care.
