Motorists can expect to face changed traffic conditions this week as construction resumes on the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace.
The westbound slip lane from John Renshaw Drive will be closed and road-users detoured via New England Highway and Anderson Drive off-ramp on the night of Tuesday 14 July between 7pm and 5am.
Southbound M1 Pacific Motorway traffic is being diverted onto the northbound carriageway of the M1 (contraflow arrangement) at the John Renshaw Drive/Weakleys Drive intersection on the nights of Thursday 16 July and Friday 17 July between 7pm and 5am while the project team undertakes asphalt work.
During this time, there will be no access to Lenaghans Drive from the southbound lanes of the M1.
Major construction continues across the rest of the project, too, from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday; 8am to 5pm on Saturday; and from 7pm to 5am Monday to Friday nights.
The work will also require lane closures and contraflow with intermittent stoppages and temporary speed reductions to 40km/h at the following locations and times:
From 7pm to 5am, on the nights of Monday 13 July until Friday 17 July:
- M1 Pacific Motorway at Beresfield and Black Hill
- John Renshaw Drive at Beresfield
- New England Highway at Tarro
- Pacific Highway at Tomago and Heatherbrae
From 7am to 5pm, Monday 13 July until Friday 17 July:
- Lenaghans Drive at Black Hill
- Old Punt Road near Pacific Highway at Tomago
- New England Highway Eastbound at Tarro
Operators of Over-Size and/or Over-Mass (OSOM) vehicles with a ground contact wider than 3.2 metres or with overall width greater than 4.5 metres are advised to contact the project team on 1800 094 895 at least one day ahead of proposed movement.
Significant delays can occur if they fail to do so.
