Details
From Sunday 24 November 2024, we'll be making safety upgrades at the Ferry Road, Ensors Road and Aldwins Road intersection.
To complete this work overnight, we'll be installing a temporary stop/go system at the intersection. Please see below for more information about traffic impacts.
This first phase of work will be completed during night works over a period of approximately three weeks.
At the start of January, Council will renew the intersection as the foundations are failing, replace the traffic lights
because they have reached the end of their service life and install safe speed platforms on each approach. We will
provide more information about this next phase of work in January.
We know this work can be disruptive, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Traffic impacts during the night works
- Traffic travelling through the intersection between 7pm and 6am will be reduced to one lane and managed by
a temporary stop/go system. Please allow extra time to avoid delays. - Temporary traffic management (road cones, signs) will be installed as part of the works. There may be some
traffic delays and changes to traffic management. - The speed limit will be reduced to 30 km/h through the site to keep our contractors safe.
- Please adhere to all signage and be aware of cyclists merging.
- There will be no on-street parking available for the duration of work at night.
- While the work is to be undertaken at night, traffic management will still be visible to users through the day.
- Businesses that have driveway access within the traffic light-controlled one way system will need to exercise
caution when exiting their property.
