Intersection update
The intersection works are progressing well. However, on excavating the traffic signals, it was found that the existing infrastructure was in poor condition and unable to be reused for the new build.
This means all the inground infrastructure for the traffic signals is being replaced, leading to a possible extension of these works of up to two weeks, subject to weather.
Unfortunately, there was no indication of the extent of the issues which only became apparent after excavation commenced.
The overall project timeline remains unchanged.
