COVID restrictions have provided Eurobodalla Council with an opportunity to tackle infrastructure upgrades in Moruya, minimising their impact on the community and businesses.
The school crossings on Church and Queen Streets that service St Mary's Primary School will be upgraded to 24-hour raised pedestrian crossings. Church Street will be closed, between Vulcan and Page Streets, from Monday 13 to Saturday 18 September and Queen Street will be closed, between Vulcan and Page Streets, from Monday 20 to Saturday 25 September.
Through traffic will need to detour during the work. Residents will be able to access their properties but may need to detour to reach their correct side of the crossings. Traffic control will be in place. Pedestrians will be able to use footpaths but may be directed around work sites. The school crossings will not be available during the upgrades.
Funded under the Federal Stimulus NSW Road Safety Program, the crossings are a part of Council's drive to improve pedestrian access across the CBD and the safety of all road users.
Council will also begin work to renew water infrastructure at the intersection of Ford and Queen Streets during September; relocating the water main from beneath to outside the roundabout. Initial work will involve cutting sections of concrete paths and driveways, although these will remain in place and useable until excavation work begins.
During construction heavy machinery will be active along the road and on the nature strip, and it will be necessary to close Queen Street and Ford Street at separate times to allow work to be undertaken safely. Traffic control will be in place.
