Carcuma Road Upgrade Project
Project Summary
Carcuma Road is a class 3 road within the Coorong District Council and is a regionally significant freight link to the Thomas Food International (TFI) Feedlot. The TFI Feedlot is a regionally significant industry generator which requires significant freight movements to operate.
The upgrade project will include widening the existing road for 13km from the Dukes Highway to the end of the existing road seal at the Heinrich Road intersection, and sealing an additional 2km of Carcuma Road to provide access to the TFI Feedlot.
This project is the recipient of 2:1 funding through the Special Locals Road Program (SLRP).
