- Pavement widening and drainage improvements on a 200m section of Waterfall Way about five kilometres east of Dorrigo, which and is expected to be complete by Friday 13 December, weather permitting.
Works will be carried out between 6am and 6pm on weekdays with additional work between 8am and 1pm on Saturdays, if required. No work to be carried out between Friday 20 December and Monday 6 January 2020 due to the Christmas shutdown.
Mrs Pavey said these projects were in addition to the NSW Government's commitment of $50 million to upgrade Waterfall Way through Dorrigo.
