Stubbs Park Traffic Diversion Bypass From 1st April - 3rd May
ROAD WORKS ON THE CNR OF BENNETT ST & BAHR RD DUMBLEYUNG (STUBBS PARK)
Road works will be carried out on the corner of Bennett St and Bahr Road in Dumbleyung. A bypass road and temporary footpath delineated by orange netting will be installed to ensure pedestrians and traffic can continue to flow through the area. Traffic will be controlled with the assistance of traffic lights.
These works are critical in this year’s maintenance and construction program and need to be finalised prior to the changing season. These traffic control measures have been implemented as we realise the timing of these works coincide with the Taste of Dumbleyung. We have notified the CMCA Rally who will be staying at Stubbs Park of the arrangement and appreciate your patience during this time.
We realise this may be an inconvenience however for us to complete the task efficiently and safely we ask that you please assist us with the below:
• Do not walk through closed work areas as works require the bitumen to be at high temperatures.
• Be mindful of heavy machinery operating in the area.
• Please adhere to traffic light signals when driving through the area
