1/5/12

Only days after the re-opening of the Kings Highway from a landslip, the Roads and Maritime Service have completed a preliminary investigation report into the safety on the Kings Highway at Braidwood.

Member for Monairo John Barilaro said the review looked at two sections of the highway on either side of Braidwood.

It comes in response to the numerous fatality crashes on that stretch of road.

For locals concerned, a community workshop to discuss the findings will be held on 3 May at the Braidwood National Theatre from 6pm.
