The concrete base to Section A will be poured tomorrow morning and it is anticipated that the work will be completed by 10.00am. The asphalt will be laid to Section A on Monday 14 August.

Planning is now underway for Section B and during these works Council will maintain westbound traffic flow through the intersection.

Expected work flow for the next intersection Section B pending favourable weather is:

• Excavation will commence Tuesday 15 August.
• The concrete base will be poured Thursday 17 August.
• The asphalt will be laid Monday 21 August.
• The Wallace Street intersection will then be open to through traffic on Tuesday 22 August 2023.

Following on from these works either Section C or Section D will commence with the Section chosen to be determined by the availability of a specialised contractor engaged to remove a redundant asbestos water main and install a drainage line.

It is expected that the works to Section’s C and D will take approximately one week each.

Sections E, F and G will not require a concrete sub base and therefore will be completed much faster.

Arrangements will be made regarding the bin service with changes being advised early next week.

Update Wednesday 26 July 2023 4.30pm

Council engineers have worked with consultants and contractors to find a pavement solution to solve the unsuitable subgrade issue at the CBD. Council staff and contractors will pour a structural concrete slab to bridge the underlying conditions, this is planned for Friday 28 July 2023 commencing at 5.00am. The asphalt pavement works will be programmed to commence as soon as possible after the concrete has cured.

The original schedule of works has therefore been delayed. A new construction schedule will be developed and communicated to the community in the near future.

 

Update Wednesday 26 July 2023 9.00am

Unfortunately the asphalt works were cancelled again last night due to unforeseen setbacks. We have engaged a consultant  Pavement Engineer who will attend the site to finalise a solution moving forward. Wallace Street will remain closed between the intersection of Princess and Cooper Streets.
We hope to have an updated plan later today and this will be communicated as soon as possible.
