Asphalting works continue on Constitution Avenue

Released 01/01/2018

Due to recent inclement weather, asphalting works scheduled for earlier this week on the $44.8 million Constitution Avenue project will occur over the next week, starting on Sunday 17 July 2016.

“This is an important stage of the Constitution Avenue project. The asphalt works will produce a finished pavement surface around the intersections of Constitution Avenue with Coranderrk Street, Allara Street and London Circuit,” Acting Director Capital Works, Ben McHugh, said.

“To ensure these works are conducted safely and with minimal inconvenience to road users, temporary overnight road closures will be in place at these intersections intermittently from the evening of
Sunday 17 July to the morning of Friday 22 July 2016, weather permitting. The works will take place each evening between 8 pm and 5 am.”

Works on the intersection of Constitution Avenue and London Circuit will take place Sunday night and Monday morning. They will require the following closures:

• London Circuit in both directions between Akuna Street and Edinburgh Avenue
• Constitution Avenue in both directions between Allara Street and the Legislative Assembly car park
• The access ramp from Commonwealth Avenue northbound to London Circuit eastbound.

Works on the intersection of Constitution Avenue and Allara Street will take place between Monday night and Friday morning. They will require Constitution Avenue to be closed in both directions from Coranderrk Street to London Circuit. Traffic on Allara Street travelling across Constitution Avenue will be managed by traffic controllers.

The Australian Government provided $42 million for the upgrade of Constitution Avenue and an additional $2.8 million in funding has been allocated by the ACT Government to complete the connection of Constitution Avenue to Vernon Circle.

Barriers, warning and diversion signs will be erected on site.
