Work being done

Inland Rail contractor McConnell Dowell will install streetlighting, pedestrian handrails and anti-throw screens on the new Beaconsfield Parade bridge during April.

Minor water main works around the bridge near Siege Street will also occur.

Other works will include excavations and piling for the deflection walls adjacent to the track and construction of local roads and footpaths (see map, below).

What can I expect

  • Construction work 7am-6pm Monday to Friday and 7am-5pm weekends
  • Traffic and pedestrian access via the new Beaconsfield Parade bridge
  • No access to Siege Street from Beaconsfield Parade
  • Heavy machinery and equipment operating onsite
  • Delivery of materials and equipment
  • Trucks and other vehicles entering and exiting the construction site may cause minor traffic delays
  • Limited access to the northern-end of Woolshed Road other than to local businesses and residents
  • Temporary streetlighting in place to assist pedestrians crossing the new bridge.

Traffic changes

  • Vehicles will use the new Beaconsfield Parade bridge.
  • Siege Street will become a ‘no through road’.
  • Pedestrians will use the new bridge shared user path and temporary pedestrian pathway along Siege Street. Works are continuing to complete the connecting footpaths and provide improved access to Glenrowan’s key heritage sites.

Machinery used

Trucks, cranes, excavators, concrete trucks and pumps, loaders and light vehicles will be used within the works area.

How we’re managing impacts

  • Water carts will be onsite to wet down areas to assist in managing dust
  • Traffic controls will be in place, where required, including Variable Message Signage (VMS) boards
  • Live monitoring of noise, dust, and vibration.
