Road crews on the way

Repairs to the New England Highway should be underway this week, after record-breaking coastal floods saw traffic rediverted to the New England Highway. The increased traffic saw the road deteriorate into a pothole-ridden danger zone for motorists.
Last week Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan met with Minister for Roads Jenny Aitchison in Parliament, to push for urgent assistance and much-needed repairs to the highway.
As a result of their meeting, road crews from the Pacific Highway were expected to be shifted to the New England HIghway this week.
“The Northern Tablelands electorate office has been inundated with calls and emails from concerned drivers reporting near-misses, blown tyres, and vehicle damage,” Mr Moylan said.
“I travelled to Glen Innes from Armidale last week and experienced first-hand how bad the road conditions are.
“I met Minister for Roads Jenny Aitchison and her team while in Parliament in Sydney this week to push for urgent repairs and I am pleased to say she has agreed for road crews to be relocated to the New England Highway.
“Until the road crews can repair the worst of the damage, I urge motorists to be careful while travelling.
“While the road is being worked on there will be delays. I ask motorists to be patient so the road crews can restore the highway.”
