Motorists travelling along Windsor Road are being advised to prepare for changed overnight traffic conditions over the coming months, as essential road maintenance and safety upgrades get underway in the Hawkesbury.
From Sunday 29 March through to late May, sections of Windsor Road at Vineyard will undergo resurfacing and line marking improvements, with additional works continuing further south at McGraths Hill through to July.
Vineyard Works: March to May
The first stage of works will focus on the northbound lanes of Windsor Road between Boundary Road and Level Crossing Road at Vineyard.
Crews will be replacing sections of asphalt, repainting road markings and reinstating traffic loops, with up to 16 night shifts scheduled between Sunday and Thursday nights, from 8pm to 5am.
To minimise disruption to daytime traffic, all work will take place overnight. There will be no work on Friday or Saturday nights, nor during the Easter long weekend or the public holiday on Monday 27 April.
Motorists can expect lane closures, stop/slow traffic arrangements, contraflow conditions and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h while work is underway.
Drivers needing access to homes, businesses or side streets within contraflow sections are advised to continue through the zone and use the next available side street to safely return to their destination.
Traffic controllers will be on site to assist both motorists and pedestrians.
McGraths Hill Intersection Upgrade Continues
At the same time, longer-term safety improvements are continuing at the intersection of Windsor Road and Pitt Town Road at McGraths Hill.
These works, which began earlier in March, are scheduled to run through to Thursday 16 July, with approximately 60 night shifts planned.
As with the Vineyard works, construction will take place between 8pm and 5am, Sunday to Thursday, with no work on weekends or public holidays.
Temporary traffic changes, including lane closures and reduced speed limits, will remain in place throughout the duration of the project.
Plan Ahead
Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time and stay up to date with the latest traffic conditions via the Live Traffic NSW app, website, or by calling 132 701.
While the temporary disruptions may cause some inconvenience, the works are aimed at improving road safety and driving conditions along one of the Hawkesbury’s key transport corridors.
