To facilitate the works, it will be necessary to implement a road closure (Monday to Friday) between 0930 until 1630 from Monday 10 June until Friday 5 July 2024.
The dates and duration of the road closures will depend on the scheme’s progress and favourable weather conditions.

Access for the emergency services and property owners will be maintained; however, delays may be experienced.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience.
However, road users should expect some delays, are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works, and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Friday, 5 July 2024.
However, the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
