Road closures
Check here for information about temporary road closures or activities that impact on traffic conditions in Newcastle.
Council will make every effort to ensure disruptions to traffic, businesses, pedestrians and residents are minimised during works.
Temporary long term lane closure, Elizabeth Street, Tighes Hill
The east bound lane of Elizabeth Street, Tighes Hill between William Street and Kings Road will be closed from Wednesday 20 August 2008 for approximately 18-24 months.
Residents in this part of Elizabeth Street will still be able to access their properties from the William Street end.
Council works reduce the risk of falling rocks and stabilise the road cutting.
The cutting, excavated more than 70 years ago, is constantly exposed to the elements. Council has maintained the area through minor works for some time but now major intervention is required.
Motorists are encouraged to use an alternative route during this time.
Council apologises to residents for the inconvenience the road closure may cause.
For further information about the changes to traffic flows please call the project manager on 02 4974 2420.
