Construction hours

Works will generally be undertaken from 6.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday and 6.30am to 5pm on Saturdays.

Upcoming out-of-hours works will include:

  • intermittent concrete pours from the CBD site from 3am, Monday to Saturday
  • intermittent overnight concrete pours from the CBD site to the marine construction area between 6.30pm and 6.30am, Monday to Saturday
  • some night deliveries to the CBD worksite which may be required between 6.30pm and 6.30am, Monday to Saturday to minimise impacts to road users.

Low-impact marine construction hours will continue until 4am, Monday to Saturday.

Intermittent low-impact bridge substructure works in the marine area will also continue, including the removal of marine temporary works from 5am to 11pm, Monday to Saturday, weather and conditions permitting.
