Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade – Update 29 April 2022
The new concrete footpath is now complete within the first zone of works along Coulson Street from the intersection of Muir Street and Coulson Street to Les Muller Park.
Works have continued to progress as planned this week with the completion of new kerb and channel works in the second work zone progressing from John Street intersection to Hart St intersection. The Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade is on track with the original program timelines for completion.
Placement of new road pavement in the second work zone will be completed this week. Concrete footpath and driveway works in the second work zone will commence Tuesday 3 May 2022. The ability for vehicle access to property and business driveways will be impacted for short periods while these works occur. Council apologises for any inconvenience and will endeavour to keep impacted businesses and properties updated as these works progress.
Temporary closure of the John Street intersection is planned to commence Tuesday 3 May to allow reconstruction of the concrete invert in John Street. The John St closure will be in place for a week to allow curing of the concrete.
To maintain public safety some restrictions to vehicle parking and pedestrian access are expected, however these impacts will be limited and allow continual business access as construction progresses along Coulson Street. Construction noise is expected through the course of these works.
Site works and construction activity will be performed Monday to Friday – 6:30am – 5:00pm and Saturday – 7:00am - 5:00pm, with the project expecting to be completed by June 2022.
