Mayor Duncan Gair said the road had been in need of repair for some time and plans to remediate Ellsmore Road in Bundanoon will be sped up.

"There's no doubt that Ellsmore Road in Bundanoon has been in need of repair for some time," Cr Gair said.

"The state of the road has further deteriorated since heavy rain lashed the area in August.

"Even though it's not the primary access route between Bundanoon and Exeter, the decision to prioritise the road's repair was made after staff and management inspected the site first-hand."

More than $270,000 was allocated to the refurbishment of Ellsmore Road.

The first stage of remediation will involve re-shaping the road and filling of any major potholes around the Morgan's Road end of the road.

These repairs will be carried out in time for motorists to use the road in time for next weekend's Highland Fling ride.

Stage two of the upgrade is more costly and involves more work including reforming and reshaping the road.

Drainage pipes will be improved or completely replaced and the final stage will involve a complete resheeting along the entire three kilometre length of the rural road.

Weather permitting, this stage of repairs is expected to begin in the second of November with the entire project expected to take about eight weeks to finish.

"The second stage of works will unfortunately be the most disruptive," Cr Gair said.

"Council apologises in advance for any delays that motorists may experience but believe this short-term pain will be worth the long-term gain that users of the road will experience once the job is complete.

"We expect that once complete, these repairs will make the road smoother to drive, more durable and most importantly, safer for motorists."
