September 2016

Work on Wisemans Ferry Road and Cattai Road, Cattai from

Monday 19 September

The NSW Government is funding this essential maintenance work

between O'Briens Road and Little Cattai Creek to provide a

stronger, longer lasting and safer road.

Roads and Maritime Services will carry out this work, which includes removing and

replacing sections of asphalt.

We have included a map to show the location of this work.

The work will take 15 shifts to complete between Monday 19 September and Thursday 20

October, excluding public holidays, weather permitting. Our working hours will be from 7am to

Spm between Mondays and Fridays.

How will the work affect you?

There will be some noise associated with this work. We will make every effort to minimise its

impact.

Traffic Changes

There will be some temporary traffic changes to ensure the work zone is safe.

Lane closures will be in place and may affect travel times. Please keep to speed limits and follow

the

direction of traffic controllers and signs. For the latest traffic updates, you can call 132 701, visit

livetraffic.com or download the Live Traffic NSW App.

Other Roads and Maritime work in your area

In May and June, Roads and Maritime sought community feedback on a proposed overtaking

lane on the Old Northern Road, Maroota. We are preparing a community consultation report

which considers the feedback received, this will be finalised in the coming months.
