New Water main Construction, Cut overs

Change to Traffic conditions as cut overs of mains will be undertaken in Bridge Street, Lithgow on the 10th and 11th of December 2019.

Council will be undertaking the cut overs and final mains construction in the Bridge Street area on the 10th and 11th of December between 8:00pm and 8:00am as night works. This work will involve the shutting down feeder mains in Bridge Street between Tank Street and Mort Street. Some residents may experience interruptions to water supply during this time due to the nature of the reticulation. Council will try to minimise this as much as possible during the works. During the time while cut ins and mains works are being undertaken traffic control management will be in place to direct traffic and protect workers.

The sections of Bridge Street between Mort Street and Union Lane will be closed during these times on the 10th and 11th. The intersection and roads from the Bridge Street over rail bridge to Union Lane will be shut at various times both days to complete these works. All works will have traffic control and detours in place whilst the work is undertaken

The water mains renewal project is looking to be completed and finalized prior to Council’s Christmas shutdown. 

Council apologizes for the ongoing interruption it has caused and would like to thank the community for their patience. Please observe all road rules, obey signage within the area and drive to the conditions.
