M40 Preston Reservoir to Merri Creek - Water Main Renewal Project
Construction Update - Southern section, December 2016<br>
<br>
Melbourne Water is undertaking renewal works on two sections of
the M40 water main and its pipeline connection to the Preston
Reservoirs. This project is part of our commitment to providing
high quality, safe and reliable drinking water.<br>
<br>
Construction work has commenced along St Georges Road and is
expected to take twelve months to complete.<br>
<br>
Intersection closures - from 1 December 2016<br>
<br>
For safety, the un-signalised intersections along St Georges Road
from Arthurton Road to Normanby Avenue will be closed to all
vehicle traffic for the duration of the project.<br>
<br>
Motorists will not be able to cross St Georges Road at:<br>
- Beavers Road<br>
- Beaconsfield Parade<br>
- Gadd Street<br>
- Woolton Avenue.<br>
<br>
Pedestrians will be able to cross the centre-median and St Georges
Road at Arthurton Road, Gladstone Street, Gadd Street and Normanby
Avenue.<br>
<br>
This will ensure ongoing access to the tram and bus stops. All
other pedestrian crossings along St Georges Road will be closed.<br>
Cyclists will be able to access the shared path within the
centre-median along St Georges Road at Arthurton Road, Gladstone
Street, Gadd Street and Normanby Avenue.<br>
<br>
Signage and traffic controllers will be in place to ensure
motorists, pedestrians and cyclists can navigate the area safely.<br>
<br>
Please follow our signs and instructions from our traffic
controllers and allow extra time while travelling in this area.<br>
<br>
We do not expect there to be any interruptions to bus or Yarra
Trams services.<br>
<br>
As we undertake our work along St Georges Road, intersections
north of Normanby Avenue will also need to be closed. We will keep
you informed.<br>
<br>
We apologise for this inconvenience.<br>
