No. 53: Henry Parkes Way, Parkes
As part of building Inland Rail, we are upgrading level crossings between Parkes and Narromine. This requires temporary road closures from time to time.
Timing and location of works
Henry Parkes Way (Condobolin Road), 4.5km west of Parkes.
We are upgrading the level crossing at Henry Parkes Way, Parkes. To allow traffic to continue to use Henry Parkes Way, we will be building a double-lane side road.
The side road will be in use until mid-2020.
What we’re doing
A double-lane side road will be built to the north of the existing level crossing.
What to expect
- A speed reduction to 60km/h will be in place several hundred meters on either side of the level crossing on Henry Parkes Way (see map) for safety of all road users.
- During the work there will be heavy vehicles travelling to and from the work sites.
- Traffic management with detour signage will be in place to assist those impacted by the road closure.
