Rock scaling completed

Gosford Council has announced its completion of rock-scaling work on Blackwall Mountain at the intersection of Memorial Ave, Barrenjoey Rd and Maitland Bay Dr, Woy Woy.

Project engineer Mr Luke Reynolds said the work was part of a routine inspection.

"The council undertook rock scaling work at the base of Blackwall Mountain where the rock face is closest to the road," Mr Reynolds said.

"Geotechnical engineers were also brought in to assess the rock face."

Mr Reynolds confirmed the road surrounding the rock face was safe to drivers.

He said a report recommended further work be carried out to the area to realign the road within the next three to six months.
