We’re building 2 new rail bridges and a new shared path over Anderson Road.

We’re undertaking works in this area in a staged manner. This notice covers the second stage and the closure of the Anderson Road pedestrian and cycling path.

What we are doing

• We’re closing the pedestrian and cycling path over Anderson Road
• Removing light poles from the site area and the southern side of the shared use path
• Non-destructive digging (NDD) to locate underground services in the area
• Building a driveway for vehicles to access the site
• Building a large concrete slab to protect underground services. This slab will ensure the area is safe whilst heavy machinery is used to demolish and rebuild the bridges
• The concrete slab will be poured at the end of April and will continue to set until June in order to reach full strength
• Removing trees and vegetation on both sides of Anderson Road. Where possible, we will make every effort to protect native vegetation
• Works include the use of excavators, a scissor lift, elevated work platform, wood chipper, NDD truck, concrete truck, workers with hand tools and other construction machinery

What to be aware of

• We expect low to medium levels of noise
• The pedestrian and cycling path over Anderson Road will be closed from Wednesday 12 April until 2025. A southern and northern cyclist and pedestrian detour will be in place
• There will be an increase in vehicles using Talmage Street and King Edward Avenue to enter and exit the construction site
