Details
What are we doing?
We are constructing the section of South Express cycleway that travels through Paparua Stream Reserve. This will connect to the already completed section of cycleway on Epsom Road. As part of this work, we will widen the existing path through the reserve, as wellas install additional lighting and landscaping. The existing bridges will not be affected. Please note - Paparua Stream Reserve will be closed to pedestrians and cyclists while this work is completed.
Traffic Impacts
Racecourse Road and Epsom Road will remain open for the duration of these works, however there will be speed restrictions in place around our site. There will be an increase in truck movements while this work is underway. Please keep children and pets away from the work site, and please be on the lookout for changes in traffic management. Our friendly staff can assist with any queries about these works.
Work Area
- The existing path through Paparua Stream Reserve will be widened to 4 metres wherever possible, however space constraints mean that some sections, including the bridges, will remain at a narrower width.
- A detour route for pedestrians and cyclists will be provided so please follow the signage. This work connects the previously completed stage of South Express cycleway on Epsom Road, through to Racecourse Road.
- As part of this project, a signalised cycle and pedestrian crossing will be constructed on Racecourse Road.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
