What to expect

During these works you may notice some intermittent disruptions such as:

  • Traffic and parking changes on Wilkie Street between Cardross Street and Station Road. Access will be maintained to properties located within the road closure extents under traffic control guidance
  • Light vehicles, trucks and machinery including excavators with rock breakers and jackhammers, mobile cranes, trucks, vacuum trucks, concrete trucks, pump trucks, loaders, concrete saws, power tools, generators, and mobile lighting towers to light work areas at night
  • The Wilkie Street station entry stairs will be closed until late 2024. Pedestrian access across the overpass remains open via lift access only during this period
  • Increased noise, vibration and dust associated with the use of heavy machinery and equipment.

We appreciate your patience during construction and will continue to update you as work progresses.
