Dangerous corners, culverts and intersections on local roads between Moonbi and Hallsville will be improved, including Davidsons Lane, Upper Moore Creek Road, and Moonbi Gap Road.

With the locations for the safety upgrade determined by a road safety audit and existing crash data, the upgrades will not only improve the safety of these roads for local residents, but the comfort and travel efficiency of these roads as well.

The works are expected to be completed in full by mid-2023, with each identified site upgraded over a much shorter timeframe. Standard working hours will be between 7am and 5pm on weekdays with Saturday works undertaken when required.

The planned safety improvements link back to Tamworth Regional Council’s Blueprint 100 future vision to create a well-connected, efficient and safe movement network for our region.

Additional locations for safety improvements have been identified along this route should Council be successful in obtaining further funding in future.

This project has received $2 million by the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Productivity Program, to be matched by an additional $2 million investment from Tamworth Regional Council.
