Where: Works will be undertaken on the eastbound lanes of Cross Road from east of Birksgate Drive to the intersection and the northbound lanes of Glen Osmond Road from the intersection to north of Chapel Street - section 4 in the map attached.

Speed and lanes restrictions with be in place in the vicinity of the works with Cross Road and Glen Osmond Road reduced to a single lane of traffic in each direction during working hours.

Outside of work hours all lanes will be open to traffic with speed restrictions in place.

See detour map for detailed local access arrangements during this work.

The project is expected to be complete in early 2022, weather permitting.

Start Date of Works: Thursday 20^th January.

Time of Works: 9:00am – 3:30pm.

Location:

The trees are situated within the road verge adjacent to 180 Mount Barker Road Aldgate, approximately 150m north of the intersection of Mount Barker Road and Arkaba Road Aldgate. Please refer to the below site map.

Type of Works:

Tree branch reduction pruning to two large dead Eucalypt trees situated within the Council road verge.

Reason For Works:

Branch reduction pruning is required to reduce the likelihood of tree part failure occurring over the road corridor. These tree works are necessary to manage the associated risks posed to people and property.

Traffic Impacts:

• During the works a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented along Mount Barker Road.
• Mount Barker Road will be reduced down to one trafficable lane past the tree work site. Traffic flow will be controlled with stop / go traffic commands.
• These traffic restrictions will cause minor delays to traffic flow, all attempts will be made to limit impacts to road users.

On behalf of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, DM Roads will be installing a Rural Active Warning System at the junction of Gorge Road and Torrens Hill Road, Paracombe.

The Rural Active Warning System, triggered by vehicles approaching from side roads, is designed to improve safety for motorists by using variable speed-limit signs to slow down traffic at rural intersections or junctions.

Works are scheduled to commence on Monday, 29 November 2021, with completion expected in early February 2022, weather permitting.

Works will be undertaken Monday to Friday, between the hours of 7am and 5pm, with some weekend works as required.

Gorge Road and Torrens Hill Road will remain open with a 25 km/h speed restriction in place while workers are on site. Other speed and lane restrictions may apply, subject to onsite conditions.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (the Department) is undertaking major road pavement rehabilitation works on the South Eastern Freeway/ Cross Road/ Portrush Road and Glen Osmond Road intersection and at all approaches to the intersection.

The works involve removing existing pavement and replacing it with new asphalt to ensure the long term safety and integrity of the intersection for all road users.

Major works will be undertaken in four separate sections , with activities underway in only one section at a time. Throughout the construction program works will return to each section on around three occasions.

Roads will remain open, with two way traffic maintained at all times and speed restrictions in place. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction through the work zone during work hours. Please expect some delays. Outside of work hours all lanes will be open to traffic with speed restrictions in place.

Project completion is expected in early 2022.

Council will be conducting routine pruning and removal of various large dead Stringybark trees along the verge of Strathalbyn Road, Aldgate to reduce the likelihood of any failure occurring over the road corridor or private infrastructure which could pose risks to people and property.

When Monday 1 – Wednesday 3 December, 9:00am – 4:00pm daily

Locations
Tree works will be undertaken at the following four sites — please refer to the aerial site map below

• 42 Strathalbyn Road, Aldgate
• 110 Strathalbyn Road, Aldgate
• 127 Strathalbyn Road, Aldgate
• 147 Strathalbyn Road, Aldgate

Traffic impacts

Traffic along Strathalbyn Road will be reduced to one lane at tree work sites where traffic flow will be controlled with stop / go traffic commands.

While these traffic restrictions will cause minor delays to traffic flow, they are necessary to ensure the safety of all pedestrians and road users and all attempts will be made to limit impacts to road users.

The historic Woollen Mill chimney at Mill Road, Lobethal will undergo significant restoration works to extend its life for future generations to appreciate.

The chimney represents an important part of Lobethal’s early history and is included in the State Heritage Place register as part of the former woollen mill site.

As part of the planned restoration work and to ensure the safety of construction contractors, residents, pedestrians and motorists, Council will conduct works over two stages which will require the southern entry to Mill Road to be closed for a total period of 8–12 weeks.

Stage 1 — Monday 1 November to Monday 6 December 2021 (weather permitting).
Stage 2 — Monday 7 February to Monday 21 March 2022 (to be confirmed).

Works will be undertaken between 7am and 7pm on weekdays.

Traffic flow impacts

The work will be limited to the area directly around the chimney and as scaffolding will be erected onto the road carriageway, access to Mill Road from Lobethal Road (southern end of Mill Road) will be closed for the duration of each stage of the restoration work during the dates indicated above.

Type of works

The following tree management works have been identified in preparation for the installation of more in tree LED string lighting. Tree maintenance pruning works are required to reduce the likelihood of brittle deadwood and poorly attached branch failure occurring and the three trees identified for removal either display poor structural traits that render them unsuitable for long term retention or hold short remaining useful life expectancies.

• Removal and replacement of two English Oak trees (adjacent to the Stirling Day Night Pharmacy).and one Liquidambar tree (adjacent to Telstra phone box).
• Maintenance pruning of eight mature English Oak trees.
• Targeted crown reduction pruning works / replacement of dynamic cable bracing within one mature Pin Oak tree.

Traffic flow impacts

Traffic controls will be in place to ensure the safety of all workers and the public.

• During the works a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented with speed restrictions in place.
• While the majority of these works will not impact upon Mount Barker Road traffic flow, at times stop / go traffic control commands may be employed to facilitate these works.
• Footpath access restrictions will be implemented underneath the trees while works occur.
• Pedestrian access into all businesses will be maintained throughout the duration of the works.
• Oak Plaza driveway access off Mount Barker Road will be restricted for periods during the works.

Kerbside parking impacts

To enable these works to occur, ten kerbside parking bays, one loading bay and one disabled parking bay will be closed for the duration of the project.
