To enable the delivery of bridge Super T beams at Croppa Creek rail bridge, traffic restrictions will be in place for the duration of deliveries via Buckie Road, Croppa Creek (travelling eastbound). Furthermore, upgrade works will continue on Buckie Road level crossing (LX918) which will be incorporated into onsite traffic management.

These activities may result in minor travel delays and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. For public safety, road users should observe all traffic control instructions, signage and VMS boards during this period.
