And it is expected the entire third stage from Elsham Avenue to the Mitchell Highway along Dairy Creek Road will be done by June-July next year.
Orange City Council Technical Services Director Ian Greenham told council on Tuesday night contractors were working in stages from Leewood eastwards to the highway intersection.
The first sod on the third stage was turned by politicians and councillors last week.
The 2km-long project includes a new intersection where the new road meets the highway; kerb and guttering from Elsham Ave to Lone Pine Ave, and at the intersection of Calton Rd; new street lighting for the entire length of the road; and a new shared pedestrian/cycle path from Elsham Ave to Kurim Ave, connecting to the existing path, which crosses the railway line.
Council was also told work on upgrading Ploughmans Lane was nearly completed.
