George and Howick St Roundabout Update 15 March

Some noticeable changes have occurred at the work site in the last week.

The lean mix concrete road pavement was poured over the site. The crews are still continuing works on the footpaths while the surface cures and dries.

Asphalt will applied to the surface area in the next stage of works which will commence next week and is expected to be completed by the end of the week.

It should be noted that NBN contractors are also independently onsite for the installation of NBN infrastructure. This is a separate project from the roundabout upgrade.

Provision for u-turns are available on all approaches. Pedestrians continue to have access to businesses, however there is some impact to parking near the work site and for those that fall within the work zone.

The temporary carpark at the old Clancy Motors site is open. It can be accessed directly from Howick Street or from the RSL carpark. There are 35 spaces available for 2 hour parking to allow customers to access nearby businesses in George and Howick St while the work occurs.

Council is also advertising the full closure on local radio, along with a separate ad to advise that all businesses near the work site are open for business.
