The works will also include traffic signal upgrades in places, gully units replaced, traffic islands removed, and certain sections of footway reconstructed at pedestrian crossing points.
Phase 1 will be the civil works which include gully renewals, traffic signal upgrades, and footway reconstruction works. Phase 1 will start on 5 October and continue up until 25 November after which works will stop for the Christmas Embargo. The works for Phase 1 will then recommence on Monday, 11 January, and continue until complete.
Phase 2 will be the carriageway resurfacing works which will commence in January 2027 once Phase 1 is complete.
All works will be undertaken between 0700 and 1900 hours, Monday to Friday. The works will start at the north end at Minto Street and continue south in phases until all works are complete. Temporary traffic lights and lane closures will be used to facilitate the majority of the works, with road closures in place as required.
A works notification letter will be distributed to residents and businesses next week outlining details of the works.
