Work locations and intermittent traffic changes April and May 2024
What to expect
During these works you may notice some intermittent disruptions such as:
- Intermittent single lane closures on Fairfield Road (outbound)
- Lane closures on Muriel Avenue with Queensland Police and traffic control to assist. Traffic movements will be maintained in both directions through the work area. Traffic delays are expected. Please allow extra travel time
- Light vehicles, trucks and machinery including excavators with hydraulic hammers, graders, rollers, water carts, front end loaders, mobile cranes, piling rigs, drilling rigs, vacuum excavation trucks, small power tools, drills, saws, minor vibrating equipment and mobile lighting towers to light the work areas at night
- Changes around your local area such as construction vehicles, traffic management signs and personnel
- Some noise, vibration and dust associated with the use of heavy machinery and equipment.
- There will be track closures and travel changes on the Gold Coast and Beenleigh lines from Friday 29 March until Sunday 14 April to undertake crucial Cross River Rail works and Queensland Rail maintenance. We encourage you to consider your travel options, plan ahead and allow extra travel time. Learn more at the dedicated webpage. Due to the scale of the closure, there will be changes to train times and movements across the network. During this time, some communities may experience an increase in operational noise along the Tennyson line from 29 March to 7 April.
