Details
On Monday, 11 March we will extend our site to both sides of Stanmore Road between 85 and 110 Stanmore Road.
Our work includes:
- Installing speed humps at the roundabouts
- Upgrading cycle infrastructure
- Resurfacing some pedestrian spaces
- Laying pavers, including tactile pavers
- Replacing street furniture
- Installing tree pits and garden beds
- Replacing stormwater sumps
- Upgrading submain water pipes in the footpath
- Replacing bus stops
- Creating new bus parking bays
- Installing ducting for new signals
As part of the work to install the new water submains, we will need to temporarily shut off the water connections to the surrounding buildings. These shut offs will take place once the submain has been installed and will only be for a few hours. We will be back in touch before this happens. We will make contact with affected businesses and residences in advance of these shut offs.
To complete this work safely we will set up a one-way system to keep road users, pedestrians and our contractors safe while we work in the road:
- The one-way system will be in place between Gloucester and Hereford Streets and will stop cars travelling north along Stanmore Road towards Armagh Street.
- There will be no left turn on to Stanmore Road for those traveling east on Hereford Street and Worcester Street.
- There will be no right turn on to Stanmore Road for those travelling west on Hereford Street and Worcester Street.
- This one-way system will remain in place for the duration of the work, outside of operation hours and during public holidays.
- Pedestrian access to footpaths will be impacted, however, access will be maintained to businesses, and detours will be in place where necessary. Please follow the signage.
- Cyclists may need to merge with traffic through the work area.
- Speed will be reduced to 30km/h through the work area.
- On-street parking will be affected on both sides of the road where we are working.
- There will be increased noise, dust and vibration from the use of machinery for activities such as saw cutting hydro excavation and plate compaction.
Prior to work starting, we will make contact with businesses that will be directly impacted by these changes. We will work alongside the community as we complete these changes to the intersections and progress up the road towards Gloucester Street.
We will be in touch regarding some night works that will take place as part of the final package of this work. We will need to work on the traffic signals in the Gloucester Street intersections at night to limit the disruption this would cause during the day.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, concerns or have some information about medical needs, construction work planned or any other activity at your property, please get in touch.
Please see the detour route below:
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.
