The construction and maintenance

of roads form a big part of Council’s

workload. The main highway west

of Sydney used to run through the

main street of Orange, leading to

traffic congestion and inconvenience

to residents. The passage of heavy

vehicles through the centre of

town compounded the problem.

To address this issue, Council built the

northern bypass at a cost of $30million.

It is now working on a southern feeder

road which when complete, will result in

the construction of a complete orbital

around the city. The first part of this

project, a $4 million section, is nearing

completionandCouncil is in theprocess
