Makeover for Shetland Heights Road ready to go

WORKS to seal Shetland Heights Road are expected to finally begin in February. 

The $1.85 million project includes the installation of new pavement and sealing of the road, a new concrete footpath, installation of kerb and channel at selected locations, plus associated drainage.
This project will start on February 6, and is expected to be completed early June 2023, subject to favourable weather, contractor availability and material supply.

Council advises that the first stage starts with roadworks on Shetland Heights Road unsealed section between Penniwells Drive (east) and Potters Hill Road.

Council has appointed SR Excavations Pty Ltd.
The total project cost is $1.99 million, which is jointly funded by the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program – Phase 3 ($1.847 million).

These works will include road pavement widening, driveway crossover works, asphalt sealing, underground stormwater drainage, speed humps, line marking and signage, kerb and footpath construction.

The community should expect significant changed traffic conditions including full road closure and detours will be in place for the duration of the project. 

Stage 1 will be undertaken from early February to late March 2023. A full road closure will be in place between Shetland Heights Road from Potters Hill Road to Small Court.
Stage 2 will be undertaken from early April to mid-May 2023. 

A full road closure will be in place between Shetland Heights Road from Penniwells Drive (east) to Small Court. 

No through traffic will be allowed from mid-February until the completion of the works in early June. 

During the closure all through traffic will be detoured via Phillip Island Road.
