Description:
J&G Excavations and Asphalting NSW P/L were successful in tendering for the Balaclava Road Upgrade in 2020. After a few delays with commencing due to COVID and supply of materials, construction commenced in July 2022 and took approximately 6 months to complete with a strong focus to minimise disruption to Macquarie University students. There were also several key stakeholders that played a pivotal role in delivering this project such City of Ryde Council, TfNSW Buses and a nearby nursing home. The projects’ purpose was to ease vehicle and pedestrian congestion into the university campus and ultimately creating a safer environment to be used by the public. Civil works included a 4.Sm shared path, sandstone retaining wall, raised pedestrian crossing and new pavement.
