Are there new impacts we need to consider?

We also appreciate that closing the road during the week is not ideal for other stakeholders.

For example, anyone planning to make deliveries with larger vehicles will not able to access the area north of the worksite during the full road closures. The detour routes available are not suitable due to pre-existing road conditions and restrictions on heavy vehicles over 15 tonnes. Vehicles over 15 tonnes will still be able to access the area up to the size of a truck and dog, during the single lane closures under traffic management. We suggest that alternative arrangements are made for those expecting deliveries during this time to reschedule accordingly.

This also means school buses will be unable to access the area on Monday 13 and Tuesday 14 December.

We also acknowledge that residents will also be impacted, especially those who commute into and out of the area for work during these times or are expecting any visitors. There are other local detour options available and we expect the traffic volumes on these roads to be significantly lower during the week, than over the weekend.
