Suttor, Mitre, Lambert St Roundabout Update

The project is progressing on schedule with service identification works ongoing for the last few weeks. This has been a complex task due to the layout of the services and the intersection. Substantial time has been spent on the current investigative and planning works to ensure that crews know exactly what they are dealing with once they commence excavations. As with all civil works projects, time spent now on careful planning is likely to reduce delays or unexpected changes later.

Trenching and service relocation works have been scheduled to commence in the new year to minimise impact to businesses located near the intersection over the Christmas period. The staging plan has also been revised to reduce impact on businesses while maintaining traffic flow through the intersection.

The revised plan includes commencing water main relocation and pavement works in the tennis club carpark, with other works on realigning the intersection through the carpark near the shops soon to follow.

Works will continue on the northern side of Mitre Street, before switching to the southern side, with the proposed closure of Lambert Street to be tied into these works as a limited closure timed for the first term school holidays.

Crews are expected to finalise preparations on site from 6 January, with service trenching to be underway from 13 January.

Due to the size and complexity of this project, plans may change and evolve throughout different stages of the roundabout construction. Visit YourSay Bathurst for the latest information or phone 6333 6100.
