Work on Wards Hill slope

Slope stabilisation works on a section of Wards Hill Rd, Empire Bay will begin on Monday, February 4, and are expected to be completed in a week.

Works will involve the removal of loose rock and debris, rock bolting, shotcreting and associated activities.

Temporary traffic control measures and warning signage will be in place for the duration of the works.

A reduced speed limit will be in force.

Traffic Controllers will be onsite during construction operations to direct traffic through the worksite under stop-go arrangements.

According to Council's project engineer Mr Chris Drinan, works have been organised to ensure minimal disruptions during peak hours and consideration has also been given to the bus timetable.

Emergency vehicles will be granted access at all times.

At various times of the day between 9am and 2:30pm, there may be delays to traffic in both directions for up to 15 minutes, and where possible, residents may wish to avoid travel during these hours or use alternate routes.
