New water pipes on<br />
Memorial Ave<br />
We’re replacing old underground pipes on Memorial<br />
Avenue between Ilam Road and Roydvale Avenue.<br />
To do this work quickly we need to reduce Memorial Avenue to one lane<br />
in both directions around our work sites. Expect delays at peak times.<br />
We’re also working in the area upgrading roads, including the Nor’West<br />
Arc cycleway, between Memorial Avenue and Ilam Fields. There will be<br />
lane closures around our worksite. Detours will be in place.<br />
We know roadworks are disruptive for you, so our contractors are<br />
working on these projects at the same time so we can get out of your<br />
way sooner. All work has been planned to keep traffic flowing.<br />
