Summerleas Road Underpass – Update

UPDATE 29 August

“To install the new underpass infrastructure, it has been necessary to close Summerleas Road between Whitewater Crescent and Queens Parade.

“Unfortunately, work has been delayed on this project due to the need to move non-council infrastructure on the site.

“Negotiations with the service authorities are progressing well with plans to move some of the infrastructure (weather dependent) next week, which will enable the project to continue.

“Currently the project time will be lengthened and community signage updated to reflect this.

“There will be more specific information regarding timeline available in the next few weeks.

“Council is working with the contractor on methods to expedite the construction and we apologise for any inconvenience these delays may cause.”
