Brisbane Water Dr to close for fun run

A section of Brisbane Water Dr will be closed for a short time and traffic diversions will be put in place for a fun run to be held on Sunday, June 20.

Police have released details of the arrangements in preparation for the Bay to Bay fun run from Woy Woy to Gosford.

The fun run is being organised by the Terrigal Trotters running club and was traditionally started in Gosford and finished at Terrigal.

However, due to roadwork and safety issues, police have worked closely with the club to organise a new route.

The run will begin at 8am on The Boulevarde, Woy Woy

Brisbane Water Dr between Woy Woy and Koolewong will be closed until about 8.10am.

Traffic will then be diverted from Brisbane Water Dr into Glenrock Parade until the bulk of the runners reach Pt Clare.

The runners will then divert onto Kurrawa Ave, Pt Clare, and then follow the off road cycleway to Masons Pde, Gosford.

The run will finish outside the Gosford Sailing Club in Masons Pde.

Traffic delays will be experienced along Brisbane Water Dr from 8am and it is expected that all road diversions will finish by 8.45am.

There will also be limited access to the Koolewong foreshore boat ramp during these times.

Articulated heavy vehicles will be marshalled at Pt Clare and Woy Woy until Brisbane Water Dr is re-opened, as sections of Glenrock Pde are unsuitable for articulated heavy vehicles.

Buses will be diverted along the normal Glenrock Pde bus route.

Residents of Victory Pde, Kurrawa Ave and Couche Cr who wish to gain access to their homes during the road closure are advised to see police or traffic marshals on duty and be guided by their directions.
