Nailing repair work on the Hunter's Putty Road
Disaster recovery work on Putty Road will include steel nails up to 12 metres in length drilled into the steep slopes next to this important regional thoroughfare southwest of Mount Thorley.
Repairs are funded jointly by the Australian and NSW Governments under Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
Putty Road was significantly damaged at Terrys Creek during a severe weather event in June 2022, resulting in multiple landslips.
Work on permanent repairs at nine locations along this three-kilometre stretch will start on 22 January and is expected to be complete by mid-2024, weather permitting.
