It’s done!
It was a busy morning of tidying up, followed by a lot of sitting around and getting all the gear back to it’s correct homes.
There was a slight delay in getting the asphalt, however the council were quick to find a different supply and the job proceeded without a hiccup.
It’s come up looking a real treat. It’ll certainly be nice if, in a future budget, we can find enough money to asphalt a few metres outside of the rails also – keep those fingers crossed.
A big thankyou to all involved, Mount Alexander Shire Council for their assistance with the road closure, gravel and asphalting. RTHV for their assistance in procuring the concrete sleepers and to all our hard-working volunteers for doing the grunt work bringing it all together.
For the time being, the speed restriction will remain. However, we’ve improved the road/rail visibility sufficiently to lift it slightly in the coming weeks once everything has bedded in.
Tuesday’s crew will probably be out doing some resleepering activities near the old tip crossing, however check back closer to time for the details.
