A 166 metre section of the road between Cooinda Street and Gordon Avenue will be widened while the pavement will be repaired.

As Black Head is a popular tourist spot in the warmer months, MidCoast Council's Rhett Pattison said work will be completed in winter to avoid clashes with community events and increased traffic.

"With a view to minimising disruption and to avoid interrupting the Black Head Bazaar, we've timed the roadworks to take place during winter," Mr Pattison said.

Stormwater runoff will be addressed by replacing underground infrastructure and installing new table drains and dishdrains alongside the road.

The project will be completed in early July.

A second stretch of the road, between Cooinda Street and High Street, has be earmarked for work in the future, budget permitting.

During the environmental review of the project, trees aligning the road were marked to assist with identifying and matching Norfolk Pines with local heritage listing.

Two trees will be removed to make way for the widened pavement along the road. The trees, an ironbark and a radiata pine, are not heritage listed.

A mature eucalypt, adjacent to Blackhead Road near the caravan park, has been assessed as a potential risk to users of the cycleway and will be removed this week.

"Development on a nearby property has altered the ground surface in the vicinity of the tree, causing root plate damage and root decay," Mr Pattison said.

The cycleway provides a direct route through to Diamond Beach Road.

"Two sections are now complete, one section finished with a concrete seal, and a new section at the northern end in bitumen," Mr Pattison said.

A third section, to connect the path on the north side of Blackhead Road between the tavern and caravan park, will begin soon.
