    Opening date set for Webberley-Paradise streets intersection

    The much-anticipated Webberley-Paradise streets intersection upgrade is now expected to be completed in four weeks.

    This major project, being undertaken to improve traffic and pedestrian safety, has been delayed by the recent ongoing wet weather and contractor availability.

    However, it is now planned to be complete and Webberley Street re-opened to traffic in early-May. Temporary traffic arrangements, including in Paradise Street, will also return to normal.

    Since construction resumed in January, council has completed all road surfacing works, constructed all traffic islands and started line marking work.

    Due to wet weather and contractor availability, there are still works to be completed, including line marking, final landscaping and street lighting.

    Until then, temporary traffic arrangements in the area remain in place.

    Please slow down and take care when driving through this work area and obey all signage.
