Antigua Street - Addington - Traffic Management *Update*

 This notice updates the traffic management for Antigua Street.

 Traffic management changes on Antigua Street

Antigua Street (between Brougham Street and Moorhouse Avenue)

• Due to the ground conditions and the requirement for dewatering equipment on site, and the depth of pipes, more space is now needed to undertake works on Antigua Street.  As work progresses along Antigua Street a sectional one way lane system will be put in place from Monday 25 June 2012. A suggested detour will be in place for north bound traffic from Brougham Street diverting them down Montreal Street through to Moorhouse Avenue.

• Stage one of the works will be in place between Moorhouse Avenue and Disraeli Street, and stage two will follow between Disraeli Street and Brougham Street.  A detour through Montreal Street will be in place throughout both stages of work due to the sectional one way lane system and to reduce commuter traffic on Antigua Street.

What to expect during construction

• Open trenching will require excavation and compaction of road material. As such you should expect to experience some levels of noise and vibration from time to time.
• Some minor levels of dust may also be experienced during this operation.
• Due to the high water table in this area we will need to install a temporary de-watering pumping system while we undertake this work.  Some noise may be experienced.  
• We do not anticipate any interruption to your existing water supply, wastewater, gas, electricity or telecommunication services while we undertake this work.
