Night work, Stop/Go traffic management in Tinwald

Road work is happening this Monday night 4 October and possibly also Tuesday night 5 October, on the intersection of SH1 Archibald St with Agnes St/Lagmhor Road, to test ground conditions.

The work will affect drivers and nearby residents. 

The work is planned for night-time from 10pm to 8am to minimise disruption to travel.

The noisiest work will start at approximately 10pm and take possibly two hours. 

Residents, businesses nearby and people travelling on the highway should prepare for short delays, detours and some disruption.

We apologise in advance for the inconvenience the work may cause.

Temporary traffic management will be in place, including a detour along Melcombe Street and Stop/Go signs, if required.
