Road Closure – Talinga Street, Buddina
ROAD CLOSURE BEACHFRONT BUDDINA
Update: May 2024
Tomkins Commercial are implementing an operation on Saturday 11th May 2024 for dismantle of the sites main tower crane. On this day it will be necessary to establish a ‘Road Closure’ on Talinga Street.
Traffic Controllers setting up at approx. 3:00am for both Talinga St and Pacific Blvd. This is purely to maintain an exclusion zone around the operation as all loading and unloading to will be done on Pacific Boulevard.
When this road closure is in place, access to Talinga street will be affected. As part of the Talinga road closure TGS there will be a traffic controller posted in the street to guide you to and from your driveway through the road closure and active roadway. When leaving your driveway, you look for and make contact with the traffic controller who is responsible for this activity. They will coordinate with workers who are operating in the work zone and ensure you can be delivered to the traffic controller at the other end of the road closure who will assist you into the active roadway. Similarly, when accessing your driveway form the active roadway please make contact with the traffic controller who is positioned at the end of Talinga street and they will coordinate the process in reverse. Traffic controllers have been briefed with this process.
Otherwise, it us asked that you look for and follow the directions of our traffic controllers when they are operating on the roadways. They are there for the safety of all road users and construction personnel. They also have a difficult job and so would appreciate you being courteous and respectful.
