The crew are also making their way North to Boorowa Road, finishing necessary maintenance on unsealed sections.

Pothole patching was also scheduled on sealed sections of Wheeo Road from May 18.

General Manager Colleen Worthy said the work was supported by state funding and would help improve a section of road in need of work.

"Council has funding under the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program to upgrade approximately two kilometres of Wheeo Road," she said.

"This work is scheduled to be completed by December 2022 but as with all of our works this year, that is dependent on the weather and any other urgent repairs our crews are drawn away to."
