Northern Rail Underpass
We had planned to construct an underpass beneath the rail at Parliament Street in Melling during Easter weekend, but this wasn’t possible during COVID-19 Alert Level 4 restrictions.
We are now planning to build the underpass in October, at Labour Day weekend. Building the underpass requires us to stop trains on the line, so to minimise disruption to for train commuters our best opportunity to di it is over a long weekend.
Although the underpass work is delayed, we are still working on other parts of the project.
Ramp construction
From Wednesday 3 June we will start to construct the ramps that will connect to the future underpass. This work will take approximately six months.
Some of this work will be noisy, particularly for those neighbours nearest the site. Our hours of work will be 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday, with some work on Saturdays from 8:00am to 2:00pm.
One-way detour
To enable us to work safely, we will put a one-way traffic system in place at the corner of Bridge Street and Parliament Street. This will be in place 24/7 for the duration of the work. Parliament Street and Bridge Street will remain open for northbound traffic, while southbound traffic will take a detour on Herbert Street and Laery Street. Two bus stops will be temporarily relocated.
