Local traffic will be moved on to a new diversion road at Chatsworth Road South and Serpentine Channel North Bank Road on Thursday August 31 between 7am and 6pm, weather permitting. The temporary traffic arrangements will allow the new highway lanes to be built safely while maintaining capacity on the road network. Highway traffic will not be affected by this traffic switch.

The community will have several opportunities in coming weeks to speak with the project team about work being carried out to build the two major bridges of the upgrade. Community members can also drop into the Broadwater Community Hall on Wednesday August 30 between 5pm and 8pm to talk to the project team about the new bridge. A community drop in session will also be held at the Harwood Community Hall, River Road at Harwood from 10am to 2.30pm on Saturday September 2 to provide information about work being carried out to build the new bridge across the Clarence River at Harwood. The project team will also have a stall at the Iluka markets on September 3 between 8am and midday. This is an opportunity for community members to get an update on work in their local area as the upgrade continues. For the safety of workers and motorists, reduced speed limits and traffic control may be in place on the highway, local roads and access roads. Delays of up to five minutes can be expected at most locations and all work is carried out weather permitting.
