Project overview
Our Sisely Avenue Watermain Replacement project in Wangaratta will replace an existing watermain with about 270 metres of new pipe below the North East Rail Line and along Tone Road, the city's major traffic route.
The complex works require trenching, horizontal directional drilling and pipe-jacking under infrastructure including a council road, open space, national rail corridor and VicRoads major road.
An existing watermain will also be diverted to a new alignment away from Sisley Avenue during the project.
Works and road closures are planned to start 7:00am Thursday 22 May.
Road closure information
An approved traffic management plan is in place for the works and surrounding area. Please obey all signs and directions provided by traffic management staff. It is best if you can avoid the area in the coming weeks and seek an alternate route.
Detailed traffic management and closure information is provided in the diagram below.
For heavy and multi combination vehicle diversion information, please refer to Truck Diversion Information.
What to expect during construction
When construction is underway traffic management will be in place for safety reasons. Construction periods will be tailored to minimise disruption to traffic flows on Sisley Avenue and Tone Road.
Nearby residents may also notice:
- Heavy vehicles moving to and from the construction site and on local roads
- Noise from construction activities during certain periods
- Dust may be produced during excavation works.
