Loftus Street (between Carrington Street and Government Road - Road Resurfacing and Associated Works

The City has subcontracted the company Civcon to undertake road resurfacing and associated works on the section of Loftus Street from Carrington Street to Government Road, from Monday, 6 February 2017 for a period of one week between the hours of 7.00 am and 5.00 pm.

The work is being undertaken as a result of the road suffering substantial fatigue cracking and will include upgrades of kerbing, drainage lids, pram ramps and crossovers.

The timetable is as follows:

• Kerb removal works: 6 February 2017
• Road surface preparation: 7-10 February 2017
• Concreting works: 8 February 2017
• Installation of kerbs: 13 February 2017
• Asphalt works: 13 February 2017
• Irrigation modifications: 7–13 February 2017

During this time, road closures will be in place with detours around the work site. Local traffic will continue to have access whilst closures are in place, with on-site traffic controllers assisting motorists and pedestrians.

There may be periods of time following the laying of new asphalt road surface where access to properties may be limited due to the drying time of the bitumen. In addition, parking on the road will be required whilst the crossover aprons are being installed to each property.

Properties with reticulation may have their reticulation temporarily re-routed during the construction period. The City will repair any damaged reticulation in the verge, however property owners need to ensure that the reticulation system is tested and any faults are reported to the City within two weeks of the works being completed. After this period the City cannot be held responsible for repairs.

For further information or enquiries, please contact the Engineering Projects Coordinator, Paul Beasley, by telephoning the City on (08) 9273 3500.

Thank you for your patience during this time.
