TRAFFIC ALERT
16 DECEMBER 2009
COOREEI BRIDGE DUNGOG
NIGHT-TIME CLOSURES
The RTA and its contractors will be carrying out a series of evening bridge closures
on Cooreei Bridge over the Williams River for essential maintenance and
improvement work.
Cooreei Bridge will be closed so re-decking and girder work can be done on the
bridge, the RTA spokesperson said.
The work will take place at night from Monday, 18 January, 2010, until Friday, 22
January, 2010, inclusive.
The bridge will be closed from 6pm each night and will be re-opened about 1am the
following morning.
This is the second stage of the re-decking work and is part of a maintenance
program to improve Cooreei Bridge and ensure its ongoing operation.
There was a closure in November 2009 and there will be a final closure in mid-2010
to complete the re-decking work. More information will be provided to the community
before the final stage of work begins in mid-2010.
Motorists are advised that detours will be available via Alison Road or Fosterton
Road. These detours will be signposted and motorists should obey all directions and
signposting. The RTA appreciates the co-operation of motorists while this essential
work is done.
The RTA is conscious of the effect this work may have on surrounding residents and
every effort will be made to minimise noise, the spokesperson said.
For information about traffic conditions, motorists should contact the RTAs Traffic
Information Line on 132 701.
