Date of works: Monday 5th to Wednesday 7th August 2024.
Time of Works: 8:00am – 4:00pm.

This equipment will be positioned on the road surface requiring temporary modifications to traffic movements on Nicols Road. During the indicated time of works, closure of Nicols Road directly adjacent number 78 will be implimented.
Throughout the duration of the works a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented. Road users will be detoured around the worksite via alternate roads, please see the detour path pictured to the back of this letter.
