Shire works watch: projects happening next week

FEARN AVENUE, HERMITAGE DRIVE & RAILWAY TERRACE, MARGARET RIVER

Works to renew damaged universal pit covers are happening next week. Stop-and-go traffic control will be in place during the works. Please allow extra time when travelling through the area.

GLENARTY ROAD & BRIDGE

Glenarty Road is now open.

Bridge upgrade and road reconstruction works are progressing well, and the final bridge works will be carried out over the next two weeks. We expect only minor impacts to traffic, although short periods of stop and go traffic may be required.

The Bridge will be closed and detours in place for part of the day on Tuesday 24 March to lay the final application of asphalt on the bridge deck. The closure will be outside of school bus times.

ROSA BROOK ROAD

Upgrade works on Rosa Brook Road (between Jindong Treeton Road and Darnell Road) are continuing with final pavement works and sealing under stop and go traffic control.

No property access impacts. Works are expected to be completed by Easter (weather permitting).

WALLCLIFFE ROAD

Stop-and-go traffic management is in place while we complete line marking set out, guidepost installation, sign installation and line marking works. Please take a different route if you can.

WARNER GLEN

Upgrade works are underway to formalise and seal several intersections along Warner Glen Road. Intersections are being sealed for 20 metres to improve safety and support ongoing maintenance grading. Some sites are also being prepared for asphalting, with new drainage culverts installed where required.

Stop and go traffic management will be in place throughout the works. Completion is expected before Easter (weather permitting).

Locations include:
•    Holland Road
•    Brooks Road (historical site entrance/exit and bus stop loop)
•    Chapman Pool campground entrance
•    Patmore Road
•    Campbell Road
•    Marsh Road

VICTORIA PARADE, AUGUSTA

We have begun upgrade works along Victoria Parade to fix long standing drainage and pavement issues. The project includes new sub soil drainage, renewed kerbs and pavement, upgraded drainage pits and replacement of damaged asphalt sections.

During construction, there will be some short-term impacts, including detours and road closures. Local access will be maintained at all times.

JINDONG-TREETON ROAD

Major upgrade works to replace the ageing timber bridge on Jindong–Treeton Road are underway. A full road closure between Osmington Road and Treeton Road will be in place from mid-March for approximately eight weeks.

The project includes removing the existing timber bridge, installing a new concrete culvert, resurfacing the approaches, widening the bridge zone and upgrading guard rails. Heavy vehicles will be detoured via Osmington Road, with signage in place. Local access will be maintained.

This project is fully funded through the Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery Program.
