Boral's asphalt crew have finished work on Moran Street to complete this round of roadworks in Whyalla.
Council and Boral thanks everyone for their patience while this work was underway.
The City of Whyalla will now start planning on the first stage of a $14m three-year plan for more than 40 kilometres of roadworks.
The $14m roadworks program, which will start in the 2019-2020 financial year, will be one of the biggest undertaken by Council in recent times and will result in 43.8km of works over 40 roads in the next three years.
After spending $586,000 on roadworks this financial year, CEO Chris Cowley said the proposed $14m three-year program will allow Council to stay on pace with the continual road resurfacing, kerbing, pavement patching, asphalt and spray sealing required in the city and outlying areas.
“Roadworks is a rolling program throughout the city and the region that never ends,” Chris said.
“We know there are roads in urgent need of repair and this program will allow us to identify those roads, fix them and move on to the next most urgent areas.
“We’d love to fix every single road in Whyalla tomorrow but this simply isn’t possible, financially or logistically, but this program will keep us on track.
“This proposed program will allow us to keep knocking them over and providing more and more quality roads for the community.”
