This year the 2014-2015 R2R program for the Glen Davis Road will provide for an additional 1km of bitumen seal work, extending from the existing section toward Glen Davis.
Work is planned to commence September/October 2014.
"Council will also be undertaking a further 1km extension to the bitumen seal on the Glen Alice Road just north of the Glen Alice village," Lithgow City Council Mayor, Councillor Maree Statham said. "Last financial year Glen Alice received funding from the Roads to Recovery program and again in 2014/2015 will benefit with an additional 1km of seal to extend the road network heading toward Rylstone".
"The road improvement work on both sections of road will see widening to the road pavement, drainage re-construction works, vegetation and tree pruning work and bitumen seal.
"The total amount to be expended by Council for the both project this year amounts to $320,000 in capital improvement funding, for the two projects.
“Lithgow City Council in conjunction with the Department of Infrastructure and regional development, over the last four years has provided Lithgow City Council an allocation of $2,247,132 to proportion between various roads that are considered a priority for necessary rehabilitation or upgrade works.
"This financial year Council has elected to allocate this funding to the Glen Davis Road, Glen Alice Road , Range Road and Sunny Corner Road.
"I'm sure that the improvement objectives of Council will produce the welcoming benefits for that of the wider community and local road infrastructure.”
