Esk-Hampton Road, Perseverance Creek, replace culvert

This project involves replacing a failing culvert on Esk-Hampton Road at Perseverance Creek.

A temporary 2-lane side track is being constructed adjacent to the damaged culvert to allow Esk-Hampton Road to remain open during the culvert replacement works.
