Details
As our work progresses along Matsons Avenue, the temporary traffic management arrangement will change on Monday 14 September, to allow crews to continue working safely.
Traffic changes:
- The temporary one-way system will switch to the opposite side of the road and the traffic direction will change.
- Traffic will now enter Matsons Avenue from Harewood Road and travel towards Condell Avenue.
- The previous one-way direction, from Condell Avenue towards Harewood Road, will no longer apply.
- These changes are required to provide a safe working area for crews while stormwater and wastewater infrastructure are upgraded.
- Access to properties and businesses will be maintained where possible.
- Please allow extra travel time and follow all temporary traffic management signage and directions from on-site staff.
Please get in touch with Isaac Construction if you have specific property access requirements e.g. medical visits, large deliveries, home help or any planned work.
