We’re replacing the current traffic signals, installing new ducting and making changes to the kerb and channel to support this new infrastructure. |

31 August 2025 to end of September 2025. Sunday to Friday, (weather/site condition dependent). Work will be carried out both at night and during the day during this period. Where required the team will undertake work on Saturdays during the day. |

- There will occasionally be no entry to Greers Road from Memorial Avenue from 7pm to 7am.
- There will occasionally be no entry to Memorial Avenue from Greers Road from 7pm to 7am.
- Detours will be in place, please follow signposted detours.
- A 30 km/h speed limit will be in place so we can keep our team and everyone safe.
- We’ll need to temporarily remove on-street parking to allow space for the works.
- Cyclists will need to merge with traffic through the site.
- At times, pedestrian detours will be in place. Please follow all signage and directions from staff on site.
