What's Happening
Out of Hours Works – Bussell Highway Interchange Bridge
In mid-July there will be an early morning concrete pour to build the deck of the Bussell Highway interchange bridge. This concrete pour is one of the most technical concreting activities on the project as it involves the simultaneous pouring of the bridge deck and the stitch areas that connect the deck to the bridge abutments. Due to the volume of concrete required and to meet quality requirements, works are expected to commence from 3.30am and will continue into the working day.
During the works you may notice an increase in noise from the concrete pumps operating and trucks arriving and departing site. All works are conducted with approval from the Shire of Capel and in accordance with an out-of-hours management plan.
Some traffic management will also be required on Bussell Highway until 7am to enable the concrete trucks to access and depart the site safely. If you have any concerns during this work, please call 138 138, which is a 24/7 number.
