Tinana roads set for upgrades

Two Tinana roads will be improved through two Fraser Coast Regional Council projects starting next week.

Work to widen Walworth Street, between Gympie Road and Tulipwood Drive, will start tomorrow (October 23) and a project to widen a 485-metre section of River Road will start on October 27.

The $400,000 River Road project includes excavation and earthworks, pavement reconstruction, kerb and channel construction, subsoil drainage works, bitumen sealing, longitudinal and transverse drainage, signage and restoration works.

The $150,000 Walworth Street project includes excavation and earthworks, new kerb and channel, two new driveway crossovers, new road pavement widening to match to new kerb, and the topdressing and turfing of disturbed areas.

Both projects are expected to finish in January 2021, weather permitting.
