Maintenance Works – Moggill Road, Kenmore & Chapel Hill

Maintenance Works Moggill Road, Kenmore / Chapel Hill

Update: April 2024

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) would like to provide an update about road pavement works on Moggill Road between Cedarleigh Road, Kenmore and Sutling Street, Chapel Hill.

Due to inclement weather, works have been rescheduled to take place mid-April 2024.

While works are underway, a detour will be required for one night.

These works are being undertaken as part of TMR’s routine maintenance program to improve the road surface and enhance road safety for all road users.

Work activities

• Removal and replacement of asphalt.
• Reinstatement of line marking.

Timing

• Works will take place mid-April 2024 and are expected to take one night to complete, construction and weather conditions permitting.
• Works will be undertaken at night between 8pm and 5am, Sunday to Friday, however some Saturday or additional out of hours works may be required. Night works are necessary for road user safety, and to avoid what would otherwise be extensive traffic queuing and disruption to the road network.
• While works are underway, detours will be in place on Moggill Road for one night between 9pm and 5am as follows:
  • Westbound access from Moggill Road to Boblynne Street:
    • Traffic will continue westbound on Moggill Road then make a U-turn at the roundabout between Moggill Road and Brookfield Road then continue eastbound on Moggill Road and turn left onto Boblynne Street.
  • Eastbound access from Sutling Street to Moggill Road:
    • Traffic will head westbound on Moggill Road then make a U-turn at the roundabout between Moggill Road and Brookfield Road then continue eastbound on Moggill Road.
  • Eastbound access from Moggill Road to Sutling Street:
    • Traffic will head eastbound on Moggill Road and turn right onto Fig Tree Pocket Road then use the roundabout between Jerrang Street and Fig Tree Pocket Road to head northwest on Fig Tree Pocket Road, then left onto Henry Street and left onto Sutling Street.
  • Westbound access from Boblynne Street to Moggill Road:
    • Traffic will head eastbound on Moggill Road and turn right onto Fig Tree Pocket Road then use the roundabout between Jerrang Street and Fig Tree Pocket Road to head northwest on Fig Tree Pocket Road back onto Moggill Road in the respective direction.

Expected impacts

• Changed traffic conditions: Temporary traffic detours, lane and road closures, temporary speed limit reductions and short-term traffic disruptions. Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the directions of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
• Temporary construction noise: Heavy machinery will be in use, nearby residents and businesses can expect increased noise, dust and odour. Reversing beepers and flashing lights will be used for safety.
• Access to private properties: Access to private properties will be maintained during the works. Where temporary access changes are required, property/business owners will be contacted directly.

On completion, TMR officers will continue to review the site for up to three months. During this time TMR will assess the work undertaken for longevity and quality.

Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on the local community and surrounds.

TMR appreciates your patience and cooperation while these important works are carried out.
