Drainage Maintenance Works – Gympie Road, Aspley

Drainage Maintenance Works – Gympie Road, Aspley

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) advises drainage works will be undertaken on Little Cabbage Creek along Gympie Road, Aspley.

These works are being undertaken as part of TMR’s programmed maintenance to improve the drainage system.

Work activities

• Removal of weeds / vegetation blocking the flow of the creek.
• Desilting the culverts.
• Installing rocks / shotcrete to minimise the erosion in the creek.
• Restoring the creek bed to minimise erosion.

Timing

• Drainage works will commence early June 2024 and are expected to take approximately three weeks to complete, construction and weather conditions permitting.
• Works will be undertaken throughout the day between 6am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, however some Saturday or additional out of hours works may be required.

Expected impacts

• Changed traffic conditions: Temporary traffic changes include road shoulder and lane closures, roadworks speed limit reductions and short-term disruptions. Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the direction of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
• Temporary construction noise: Use of machinery and plant will be required for a short period of time. Neighbouring residents and businesses can expect some increased noise, dust and odour. Reversing beepers and flashing lights will be used for safety.

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.
