Temporary Road Closure – Binalong Street
Hilltops Council advised that a section of Binalong Street, Harden, from Lucan Street heading east, had been closed to traffic from Monday afternoon due to a stormwater infrastructure failure, which had resulted in a partial collapse of the road surface.
The culvert pipe that failed was scheduled to be the next section upgraded as part of the Harden stormwater program.
The area has been made safe, and repairs are currently underway. Works are expected to be completed by the end of next week, weather permitting.
Detours are in place, and road users are urged to follow all traffic management signage and exercise caution in the area.
Council appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation while these essential works are undertaken.
‘We thank the Harden-Murrumburrah community for its continued patience and understanding as we continue to deliver this important infrastructure upgrade.’
The Binalong Street Storm water issues continue to be a thorn in Council’s side. Millions of dollars is being spent rectifying storm water in Young’s main street while storm water flows through the homes of Harden residents.
