Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade – Update
The new concrete footpath is now complete within the first zone of works along Coulson Street from the intersection of Muir Street and Coulson Street toward the frontage of Les Muller Park.
Works have continued to progress as planned this week with the completion of footpath concrete pavement in the first work zone and transfer of barriers from the first work zone to the second work zone. Cutting of pavement and excavation has now commenced in the second work zone. The Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade on track with the original program timelines for completion.
Excavation works and preparation for placement of new kerb and channel will continue from today, Monday 11 April until Thursday 14 April. The ability for vehicle access to property and business driveways will be impacted for short periods while these works occur. Council apologises for any inconvenience and will endeavour to keep impacted businesses and properties updated as these works progress.
No work is programmed to occur over the Easter long weekend. New kerb and channel construction in the Second work zone is scheduled to occur during the week commencing Tuesday 19 April, weather permitting.
To maintain public safety some restrictions to vehicle parking and pedestrian access are expected, however these impacts will be limited and allow continual business access as construction progresses along Coulson Street. Construction noise is expected through the course of these works.
Site works and construction activity will be performed Monday to Friday – 6:30am – 5:00pm and Saturday – 7:00am - 5:00pm, with the project expecting to be completed by June 2022.
