QUAIRADING–CUNDERDIN ROAD — GRAIN
TRANSPORT
780. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
(1) Is the
minister aware that the poor state of a culvert on the Quairading–Cunderdin
Road will require load restrictions to be placed on vehicles using this road?
(2) Does the
minister expect that this will prevent grain trucks using this road to
transport grain from Quairading to Cunderdin?
(3) When does
the minister expect that this issue will be resolved?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) The
culvert in question is currently being monitored by the Shire of Quairading on
a monthly basis for deterioration.
(2) It is
expected that this culvert will not prevent grain trucks of RAV 4 or 5
configuration using this road.
(3) As part of
the grain freight program, a major realignment is planned making this defective
culvert redundant.
