Nightworks
Nightworks are continuing in January 2025 to enable construction of the bridge piers as work continues to install steel reinforcing and formwork, and pouring concrete. These works will include vehicle movements to and from site with the loading and unloading of redundant concrete paving and kerbing.
Nightworks will occur between 9pm and 5am, weather permitting.
Work hours and ongoing traffic management
In general, road and bridge works will be undertaken Monday to Saturday, between 7am and 7pm. Visit our Travel Map for the latest updates.
At times nightworks are occurring to reduce the impacts on road users, and facilitate access to the works site, weather permitting. Visit our Travel Map for the latest updates.
Graham Farmer Freeway speeds have been reduced in both directions to accommodate the changed road environment and allow for the safe construction of the new footbridge.
The works are being undertaken in accordance with approved Noise Management and Traffic Management plans. Work-related noise will be minimised wherever possible but may include machinery movements and operations (including reverse beepers).
Construction is underway and will continue until mid-2025
