2011 Berry community review group
The community review group met from August to December 2011, to examine improvements to the preferred route. A report on this project is on the documents page.
This group will now be refreshed. A community meeting on the 8 February 2012 will examine ongoing discussions necessary.
August to December 2011: North Berry precinct outcomes
Along North Street the bypass has been moved 26 metre further north. This now provides a 40 metre buffer between the average property line (between Albany and Edward Streets) and the revised alignment.
The bypass has been progressively lowered from Alexandra Street towards George Street, where it is up to two metres lower than the original design. This lowering of the road reduces the visual and noise impacts, and will be most noticeable at the western end of North Street.
The height of noise walls, measured from the surface of the road pavement, is now reduced from five metres to four metres.
The Town Creek diversion allows the roadway to be lowered. The 2012 alignment is based on the need to get the widest buffer from North Street to the new road and to retain a sufficient amount of high land for the viability of the farm.
August to December 2011: Improvements for Huntingdale Park Road residents
Revisions made to the Berry south interchange were to improve the safety and amenity for Huntingdale Park Road residents. The main amendments are:
- The re-alignment of the northbound off-ramp to avoid Huntingdale Park Road.
- Relocation of the Huntingdale Park Road junction with Kangaroo Valley Road, west of its current position.
- Additional property impacts (discussions with affected property owners are underway).
August to December 2011: Berry bridge
The preferred alignment moves the Berry bridge further north than the previous alignment - approximately 95 metres further away from Berry as it crosses Woodhill Mountain Road.
The bridge is lowered by up to 6.4 metres than the previous alignment. Drainage limitations essentially dictate the height of the bridge. The bridge will not need noise barriers, reducing the visual impact of the structure.
Regarding clearance requirements for Woodhill Mountain Road, the underside of the bridge structure must be at least 4.6 metres over Woodhill Mountain Road. Design treatments can further affect these dimensions, and the type of bridge constructed (planked or Super T). These options have costs differences and impact on the aesthetics of the bridge. The look of the bridge could be designed to "provide a nod to" the heritage of Berry.
The revised alignment of the bridge utilises the gap in the poplar trees. A number of poplar trees would still need to be removed to allow construction of the bridge. Alternatively, trimming to reduce or avoid tree removal would be looked in to.
