The work will include

Modifying the watermain so it crosses under Southbrook Stream rather than over it. This will protect a critical stormwater asset and future proof the site by creating additional space for the potential widening, or replacement, of the adjacent culvert.

Timing of work
This work will begin the week of 20 May and is expected to be completed by the end June.

Traffic Impacts

During construction Townsend Road will be down to one lane between South Belt and Fernside Road with temporary traffic signals in place.
