What to expect
- A speed reduction to 40km/h will be in place several hundred meters on either side of the level crossing on Bogan Road for the safety of all road users, until the site compound is removed in mid-2020
- Traffic lights and stop/go signs will be used to assist drivers travelling on the temporary single lane
