Transport for NSW is working with Armidale Regional Council to carry out urgent repairs on the New England Highway.
Due to widespread recent wet weather impacts on the road network, Transport resources were deployed to areas of most need across the state.
Armidale Regional Council is assisting Transport during this time to address the pavement defects current on the New England Highway starting from Puddledock Road, north of Armidale.
The pavement defect work includes pothole repair and heavy patching where required.
The unplanned diversion due to flooding on the Pacific Highway of high numbers of heavy vehicles, including B-doubles, onto the New England Highway has had serious impacts on the road and the continued wet weather has made it extremely difficult to repair the pavement.
Many repairs cannot effectively be carried out in wet weather or during times of high traffic demand.
All available Transport maintenance resources will work with Armidale Regional Council on these repairs along the New England Highway.
There will be multiple short work sites along the New England Highway as this urgent work progresses. A 40km/h speed limit will be in place during this work and motorists could experience some intermittent stoppages.
Transport for NSW sincerely thanks the Armidale Regional Council for its assistance and outstanding efforts in responding to pavement challenges on the New England Highway during this time, ensuring safety and continuity despite difficult conditions and ongoing construction impacts.
