Project Summary

This infrastructure upgrade is the continuation of the existing median along Constitution Avenue and will include landscaping. 

The works are due to commence in July 2025 and be complete by September 2025. 

During the project there will be some periods of weekend works to reduce traffic impacts. 

Every effort will be made to minimise disruptions during this period; however, some impacts are unavoidable. Impacts during the works period will include temporary road closures and bus detours, however all nearby driveways will remain accessible during the works.
