We are sharing information about this detour with freight, stakeholders, Council and motorists using various channels. We know this might be a challenge for local businesses so we will be promoting the town as open for business through radio, online and media. Introducing the one day closure will allow the crews to have safe access on site allowing them to complete the project one week earlier than scheduled. 

Please note that a Road closure with detour is planned for Thursday 3 December, 7am – 5pm

We’re planning a full road closure and detour as a backup on this date. It will allow the crews to get on site to finish their work, tidy up the work site on Friday 4 December and move out!
