Final touches on Likely Street, Forster

MidCoast Council

Asphalt works are planned for Likely Street, Forster on Thursday 9 and Friday 10 February, weather permitting.

Likely Street will be closed to through traffic, with road users asked to detour around the site for the duration of works.

Traffic controllers will be on site to direct local residents. On-street parking will cease while asphalting takes place, but residents will be able to access their properties.

Asphalting and line marking are among the final steps in completing the 500-metre upgrade from Kularoo Drive to Garden Street.

Improvements included kerb and guttering as well as widening of the road to create space for on-street parking.

"Ongoing wet weather conditions, along with contractor availability and supply shortages delayed the project's completion," said Executive Manager Transport and Engineering, Peter Gesling.

"We're happy that residents and those who regularly use this busy street can enjoy safer, more pleasant driving conditions."

Road users are reminded to observe reduced speed limits and temporary traffic arrangements until works are completed.

Council and the contractors thank the community for their patience and understanding.
