No. 99: Level crossing upgrades and temporary closures – Tinks Lane, Tomingley
We are upgrading level crossings as part of building Inland Rail between Parkes and Narromine. While we do this, we need to temporarily close public roads.
As part of the work we are upgrading level crossings between Parkes and Narromine. While we do this, we need to temporarily close public roads.
We opened Tinks Lane, Tomingley, to allow road users to continue to use the road while we installed rail. Rail has been installed and we need to temporarily close Tinks Lane again to complete the road work.
Due to recent rain events this was delayed and will now close on Thursday 18 June 2020.
Timing and location of works
Tinks Lane, Tomingley
- Between Peak Hill Railway Road and Tomingley-Narromine Road
- From Thursday 18 June 2020 until the end of July 2020
- Road detour will be via – Peak Hill Railway Road, Wyanga Road and the Tomingley Narromine Road
- Tinks Lane will re-open as soon as the road work is completed.
What we’re doing
- Build, seal, and line marking of new road formations
- Install permanent signage and fencing.
What to expect
- During the work there will be heavy vehicles travelling to and from the work sites
