Lane closures will be in place from Sunday April 7 to Friday April 12. A reduced speed limit of 40 kmh will remain in place until further notice.

Further work and road closures will be required. The community will be updated with details in advance.

Motorists can detour via the M1 Princes Motorway or Lawrence Hargrave Drive.

Residents should approach traffic controllers for access to their properties.
