Community members may notice increased heavy vehicle movements on the Kempsey-Armidale and Carrai roads.

The Oven Mountain project is committed to creating safe work environments and the principles of no harm. We will implement the following road safety measures during project work on the Carrai Road:

  • All heavy project vehicles will be escorted by a pilot vehicle to notify oncoming vehicles
  • All project vehicles will be required to drive with lights on
  • Signs will be installed along the road clearly noting UHF communication requirements (UHF 39)
  • Regular community updates will be provided via SMS, social media, and website postings

If you would like to receive SMS notifications of heavy project vehicle movements in the area, please contact us toll-free on 1800 518 194 or via email at info@ompshydro.com.
