Upgrading of the Gwaiing road between the R404 and the R102 remains the focus of the GRDM Road Construction Team.
The final tests have been conducted on the material and Basecourse layer on the right-hand side (RHS) lane, and the team is awaiting the final results and approval before the RHS lane can be completed in full. After approval has been granted to proceed with works on the RHS lane, the surface will be slushed, primed, and the final seal will be placed on the road.
Preparation works on the left-hand side (LHS) lane have commenced in the interim, with the sub-grade layer being bladed. Material for the second-to-last layer (subbase) will be imported from next week, after which the processing of the cemented subbase layer on the LHS will be done.
All concrete structures have been completed in full, and the team is in the process of completing the concrete-lined side drains.
Completion date of the project still remains at 31 January 2026.
