• Upgrades to 200 metres of Coolamon Scenic Drive.

The existing crossing near the school was replaced to make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly students. 

Work included:

• New raised crossing.
• Line markings to improve safety. 
• Minor improvements to the road surface.
• Relocation of light poles.

Funding

• The works include a new $188k pedestrian crossing funded by NSW Federal Road Safety Program under the School Zone Infrastructure Sub-Program.
• The School Zone Infrastructure Sub Program is making it safer for pedestrians on their way to and from school, and when walking within school zones. It is part of the $540 million NSW Federal Road Safety Program.
• North Coolamon Scenic Drive is funded by our Heavy Patching Program.
