Work has been progressing despite constant interruptions from wet weather. Currently 3.38km of the area under the contract has been sealed with a further 1.8km scheduled for 24 October.
Work on the section between Darouble Road and Purlewaugh has been unable to progress because of saturated soils and pavement materials. This section will be on hold for some time to allow the soils to dry out.0
