Catering to Region Growth
Old Wentworth Road has experienced an extraordinary surge in daily traffic over recent years. This upgrade directly addresses that pressure by:
-
Bringing Pavement to Standard: Rebuilding the existing sealed pavement to ensure it can durable handle current and projected traffic volumes.
-
Showground Access: Significantly improving traffic flow and road safety for visitors heading to the Wentworth Showgrounds (Pavillion Road).
Council appreciates the patience of all motorists while these essential upgrades were carried out to future-proof our local road network.
