Construction commencing mid-August

7 August 2024

Construction work on the 700m section of Piggott Range Road is now scheduled to begin in mid-August. Key elements of the safety upgrade to the roadway 350m either side of the intersection with Easton Road will include:

  • improving the shape and banking of road curves
  • the addition of a turn lane for vehicles turning into Easton Road
  • increasing sight lines on either side of the intersection with Easton Road.

Work will be undertaken between 7am and 5pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.

Traffic restrictions will be in place during the project to enable work to be completed safely while maintaining safety for road users. Road closures will be required at critical stages of construction and detours will be put in place.

It is expected construction will be completed by the end of November, subject to weather and events outside of council's control.

Further updates will be provided as construction progresses.
