Urgent work is required to reconstruct an embankment and replace a pipe on Repentance Creek Road at Turkey Creek adjacent 171 Repentance Creek Road.

    What do the works involve?

    • Remove old damaged concrete pipe and replace with larger capacity pipes and headwalls.
    • Reconstruct embankment with rock fill
    • Construct drainage chute to discharge water away from embankment

    When will the works start?

    • 25/05/2022 – Stop/Go traffic control between 6:30am – 6:00pm Monday to Sunday
    • 30/05/2022 – Expect full 24-hour road closure until 13/06/2022 (please monitor electronic signage onsite, and Community Updates tab below for most up to date information)
    • 13/06/2022 – Stop/Go traffic control between 6:30am – 6:00pm Monday to Sunday
    • All closures will allow for pedestrian access through the work site

    These works may be subject to delays due to weather events. If there is a requirement to change these hours, updates will be listed below in 'Community Updates'.

    What are the traffic adjustments?

    A detour will be available through Federal for motorists to remain on the sealed road network. A VMS board will be stationed at the junction of Eureka Road and Repentance Creek Road, and at Dunoon Road to notify road users of the detour.
