Kent Street – Road works and resurfacing

Major works to resurface and line mark Kent Street are now complete, and we appreciate your patience during this critical period.

Some temporary pedestrian and cyclist detours will remain in place until finishing works are complete, which include minor patching, sealing, concrete repairs, and ongoing landscaping maintenance.

Please follow all signage and directions from traffic control when passing through this area.

What to Expect

During these works you will notice some disruptions such as:

  • Access into the corridor and work areas will be via Cope Street, Fenton Street, Kent Street, Sampson Street and Ensign Avenue. Traffic management will be set up to manage an increase in vehicle movements in these areas. Please follow the direction of traffic control and signage and allow for extra time to travel
  • Changes to pedestrian and cycle access routes on Kent Street. Please follow signage and direction of traffic control
  • Increased noise, vibration and dust associated with the use of heavy machinery and equipment
  • Trucks and machinery including concrete trucks and pumps, frontend loaders, excavators with rock breakers, vacuum trucks, piling rig, mobile cranes, small power tools, minor vibrating equipment and mobile lighting towers to light work areas at night.

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