Buca Bay Road going through resealing works

Buca Bay Road is going through resealing works which is expected to end late next month.

Fulton Hogan Hiways North Contract Manager Ryan Couchman says the work means a better and safer skid resistant surface during wet weather conditions for motorists.

Couchman says they are contracted by FRA to maintain the sealed and unsealed road networks in the North.

They will be resealing approximately 15 kilometres of the Buca Bay Road.

He says although the road was sealed a number of years ago they are resealing it to provide additional waterproofing to the road surface.

He says a 10-man crew equipped with heavy machinery is currently on site.

Couchman say more than 3,000 people will benefit from this major road rehabilitation work of which five kilometres has already been completed.
