Roadworks and road closures

Construction of a new bridge on Amberley Avenue, between Pencarrow Street and Caroline Crescent, is ongoing until early-2025.

During this time, detour routes will redirect vehicles down Pencarrow Street and Clarke Avenue.

Pedestrian access across the bridge will be closed 24/7 during the construction period, as the contractor is unable to provide a safe passage through the worksite and there is no alternative route available.

Elected members at a Council meeting in June voted to retain the four in-lane bus stops on Featherston Street. A report will go back to council in November and/or April 2025 about how they're functioning. Changes to the design of the street may be discussed at that time.
