Project Update
As part of the Halswell Junction Road Extension project, we are also completing a section of the South Express Major Cycle Route. This work involves constructing a new shared cycle and pedestrian path, new kerb and channels, upgraded overhead lighting and new drainage. This will extend the existing cycle facility along the south side of Waterloo Road from the old Halswell Junction Road level crossing (now closed permanently) to Finsbury Street and will involve works on both sides of Waterloo Road. This section of South Express contributes to the construction of the 15km South Express cycleway from the CBD to Templeton.
When we were in touch about this portion of the works in March 2024, we informed you that we had a design clash on Waterloo Road and had to pause works whilst this was worked through. This service clash has been resolved, and we’ll be returning to complete the cycleway construction works associated with South Express.
Traffic impacts
During this time, traffic will be reduced to one lane westbound on Waterloo Road between the new level crossing at Halswell Junction Road and Fulham Street. This has some impacts on vehicle entry and exit to the side roads, please see the plan below.
Side road impacts
- Brixton Street - Traffic heading west can enter and exit Brixton Street at its intersection with Waterloo Road.
- Wilson Street - Traffic heading west can enter Wilson Street at its intersection with Waterloo Road, but the exit lane onto Waterloo. Road will be closed. Traffic will need to exit Wilson Street using Brixton Street.
- Mortlake Street – The intersection of Mortlake Street and Waterloo Road will be closed so there will be no entry or exit for traffic. Traffic will need to enter and exit Mortlake Street from Moffett Street.
- Finsbury Street - Traffic heading west can enter and exit Finsbury Street at its intersection with Waterloo Road.
Please note as the worksite progresses along Waterloo Road these side road impacts will change, and this will be communicated to you closer to the time. Please keep checking your letterbox for updates.
Please follow the detour signs. Our friendly on-site staff can also assist with any queries. The speed limit around our work site is 30kph to keep our workers safe. Road users are advised to expect short delays when travelling in this area and plan their journey accordingly. On-street parking close to our work site will be temporarily removed to allow for safe working space.
Access to properties and businesses will be maintained. However, we may need to work in front of driveways from time to time. We’ll try to give you plenty of notice of this. However, if you need to get into or out of your property or business and we’re in the way, please just talk to one of our friendly staff and we’ll make sure you can use your driveway.
We know this work is disruptive, so we appreciate your patience and understanding. Thanks for your co-operation.
Information for residents and businesses
- For the duration of the project, all on-street parking close to our work site will be temporarily removed to allow for safe working space.
- Access to properties and businesses for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained on either side of the work site.
- There will be increased construction noise and vibration at times, but we will do our best to keep this to a minimum. The timing of the work and certain activities will depend on the weather and the condition of the roads. We will provide updates if there are changes to the planned works.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
