Old Newell Highway, Bellata Level Crossing upgrade
Between June to October 2022, our contractor Trans4m Rail will continue major level crossing works on Old Newell Highway, north of Bellata.
Work being done
Works will include upgrades, including pavement installation to level crossing 550.
To facilitate the works, a temporary road has been constructed to divert traffic around the existing level crossing. The temporary gravel access road will accommodate road trains.
To allow for pavement works on both sides of Old Newell Highway, a traffic lane switch will occur midway throughout the works to provide a safe work zone during construction.
What is a traffic switch?
Diverting traffic onto a different section of road is referred to as a traffic switch. Switching traffic helps us minimise disruption caused by construction works.
Motorists are urged to follow changing traffic conditions on site, including speed zone reductions and directional signage.
What can I expect
- Trucks and other vehicles entering and exiting the construction site
- Construction machinery and equipment operating on site adjacent to live traffic
- Delivery of materials and equipment
- Some of these works will be noisy and mitigation measures will be in place
- Some minor traffic delays are expected during work hours.
Machinery used
- Trucks,
- cranes,
- graders,
- excavators,
- loaders,
- rollers and
- water/vacuum excavation trucks
will be used within the construction impact zone.
How we’re managing impacts
- Traffic control will be in place, where required
- Water carts will be on site to wet down areas to assist in managing dust.
