Details
The works include, but are not limited to:
- Installation of new ducting
- Installation of new traffic poles
- Reinstatement of footpath and pavement
- Concrete cutting and pouring for islands
- Road marking and signage
Timing
- Work will not take place every night of the dates indicated above – it is expected to take approximately 20 nights across that time frame.
- These works are required to largely take place at night to mitigate the impact on the high volume of traffic that passes through this intersection during the day. Wherever possible, we will do works during the day in the pavement areas, to ensure the works are completed as soon as we can.
- Our contractors will do their utmost to complete the noisiest of the works early in the night to minimise the impact to residents in the area.
Traffic Impacts
Lane drops and possible road closures:
- The intersection will be open for the majority of these works, however there will be times when lanes are closed and lane diversions are in place to facilitate the work required.
- Detour routes will be in place, with signage to redirect traffic around the closures. Please allow extra travel time if you will be affected by the closures.
Pedestrian access:
- Pedestrian access will be available via marked routes with signs advising where to go.
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.
