Maitland Street upgrade work resumes

Work has resumed on the upgrade of Maitland Street.

The project was halted prior to Christmas to allow a free flow of shoppers, and contractors moved back onto the central CBD site on January 4 for the next stage of the major work.

This involves the replacement of the road pavement on the west side of Maitland Street; from Lloyd Street to Dewhurst Street (the opposite side to what has been completed).

These works will be undertaken in a similar manner to stage one meaning:
▪️ Pedestrian access to all shop fronts will be maintained. Manned pedestrian crossings will be provided at the locations of the existing pedestrian crossings near roundabouts to allow pedestrians to cross the road works area;
▪️ One side of the road will be closed at a time while maintaining one-way traffic along Maitland Street in the affected area;
▪️ Detours will be in place at all times to direct traffic around the work site.

Narrabri Shire Council said that it appreciated the patience of the community and business owners as these required infrastructure improvement works are completed.
