Major resurfacing works on SH58 start this week
As part of State Highway 58 safety improvements, from Friday 16 April, major resurfacing works will start along a narrow section of highway near Harris Road to improve the quality of the road and ensure it can withstand high volumes of traffic, including heavy vehicles.
The work is expected to take seven weeks to complete, with stop/go traffic management in place during the day, outside of peak travel times, and at weekends through the day and night.
Please plan ahead, allow extra time and stick to the temporary speed restriction when driving through the work sites for your safety and the crews.

Most work will be done at night, with daytime stop/go used to keep traffic off the newly laid paving surface. The site will be open under a 30km/h temporary speed limit during peak hours (5.30am-9.30am and 3pm-7pm).
Access will be available for emergency services throughout the closure.
Cyclist safety paramount
Due to the temporarily narrowed lanes, alternative provisions will be made for cyclists during peak times. A free shuttle service will take cyclists safely through the worksite during the morning and evening peaks, and over weekends when there is no stop/go.
While the stop/go is operating, cyclists will be given priority to enter the lane ahead of the other traffic to allow them to pass through the area first and safely.
Thank you for your continued patience as we undertake these essential safety improvements.
