Bridge Street, Picton Closure
Alert issued 18/12/2018 11:54am
Wollondilly Shire Council will be commencing a project to improve the drainage at the intersection of Bridge Street and Argyle St, Picton. Work will involve the installation of stormwater drainage pipes and kerb. A detour will be in place from 14 January and be completed within 8 weeks.
What does the work involve?
The work includes construction of kerb and gutter and also installation of stormwater pipes. Part of the work involves installing a large, deep stormwater pipe across Bridge Street, near Argyle St intersection. We will be closing access to Bridge Street from Argyle St between 9am-3pm for approx. 4-5 days.
Why are we closing the road?
The decision to implement the road closure has been made for safety reasons, not just for our workers, but also to traffic travelling on Argyle St. To minimise inconvenience of this closure, we are undertaking the work in January and the closure is outside of peak times.
Can I still access Bridge St during the closure?
A detour will be in place for access to Bridge Street from Thirlmere Way. Signage will be placed to guide motorists and traffic controllers will also be on site to manage traffic.
Will the rest of the project involve closing the road?
No, the majority of the project can be completed under traffic control. The road closure is only when we are installing the large drainage pipe across Bridge St.
