Journalist: Construction is set to begin on disaster recovery works to Wombeyan Caves Road and Meryla Road delivering repairs to two critical transport links in the Southern Highlands.

The $6.1 million project follows repeated flood and storm damage across the region. Works on Wombeyan Caves Road will include reconstruction at seven locations. The Meryla Road repairs will take place at three separate sites.

The Federal Member for Whitlam, Carol Berry, says both roads are critical local connections and the repairs will restore access, improve safety ahead of future floods, storms or fires.
