The final work required to complete the Highway 19A Upgrades project is now underway – and to complete this year’s task list safely, Rockland Road (between the highway and Galerno Road) will be closed during the construction period.

In 2020, all underground services were installed through the project boundaries – roughly from Simms Creek to Big Rock Boat Ramp. Roadway structure was established, and curbs, lighting and the new roundabout were also installed.

This year, overhead wires will be moved under ground – a task postponed due to COVID-19 – and landscaping will be completed.
