Beaconsfield Parade bridge works, Glenrowan: March 2024
Construction of the new Beaconsfield Parade bridge will be completed this month.
Work being done
Following the opening of the new bridge, works during March will include removal of the old Beaconsfield Parade bridge, installing new street lighting and preparing for the installation of pedestrian handrails and anti-throw screens.
Minor water main works around the bridge near Siege Street will also occur.
Other works include excavations and piling for the deflection walls and construction of local roads and footpaths.
Round-the-clock works will also be undertaken during a track possession between 6am Saturday, 9 March and 6pm Monday, 11 March.
What can I expect
- Traffic and pedestrian access via the new Beaconsfield Parade bridge after opening resulting in no access to Siege Street from Beaconsfield Parade (see below map)
- 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.
