Due to recent and forecast wet weather, the night and continuous weekend construction works along Beams Road and Dorville Road have been rescheduled.
Night works
Night works to complete initial asphalting will now take place during the next available dry weather periods over the next two weeks.
These works will involve installing new road pavement along Beams Road, at the Dorville Road intersection and through to Balcara Avenue. You may experience:
- Increased lighting and noise from plant and machinery operating throughout the night/morning.
- Low levels of vibration and odour from asphalt.
- Due to workplace health and safety requirements, reversing beepers cannot be switched off.
Weekend works
Weekend works have been rescheduled. The works will now take place from 7pm Friday 12 July until 5am Monday 15 July 2024, and will include both day and night works.
Works to remove the existing road and construct the new road pavement at the northern area of the Dorville Road and Beams Road intersection will be undertaken using a partial road closure and continuous operations.
During this time, Dorville Road between Beams Road and Matisse Street, will be closed to all motorists, with local traffic only permitted to travel into the restricted traffic area. Some directly impacted stakeholders may have short term access restrictions and will be contacted directly. Please follow the direction of detour signage and traffic controllers on site.
When will these works take place?
Night works | During dry weather periods, intermittently over the next 2 weeks Sunday to Thursday, 7pm and 5am |
|---|---|
Weekend works | 7pm Friday 12 July to 5am Monday 15 July 2024 Continuous day and night works |

Changed traffic conditions
New traffic arrangements will be implemented along Beams Road, to move both lanes of traffic onto the new road pavement, between Dorville Road and Balcara Avenue, from Monday 15 July 2024. These new traffic arrangements will be in place until late 2024.
- There will be reduced speed limits, lane closures, changes to traffic flow and short-term traffic disruptions.
- Follow signage and the direction of traffic control when travelling through the area.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained with some temporary detours in place.

Two bus stops on Dorville Road (ID 10256 & 10018) and two stops on Balcara Avenue (ID 10000 & 10020) will be temporarily closed from 7pm Friday 12 July to 5am Monday 15 July 2024.
