Stage 4 only – Day work: 8am – 6pm from Mon 22 Sept (Applies to first 2 weeks only of the 9 weeks)

Phase 2: Road rebuild (TBC)

From late December 2025. We will confirm these details before work starts.

Why we're doing this work

Beach Haven Road’s drains, roadside edges and footpaths need renewal. This will help to:

• Improve stormwater collection
• Reduce flooding and improve stormwater drainage
• Provide safer, smoother walking and driving access
• Strengthen the road surface for the future

How travel is affected:

Phase 1: 9 weeks (weather dependent)

• Access to homes and businesses will be managed. Driveway access may be restricted through different periods of time.
• Night work: Stop/Go traffic management will be in place between 7pm and 5am. Traffic controllers will be onsite.
• Day work (Stage 4 only): Between 8am and 6pm, traffic will either continue to move in both directions using a contra flow system or have temporary traffic lights for one-way travel through the site.
  • One side of the road will be closed at a time.
  • Traffic will be shifted across to the other side, with cones and signs guiding vehicles safely through.
  • Speeds will be reduced, so please drive carefully and expect short delays.

Phase 2 - to be advised

What to expect

• We know construction, particularly at night – can be disruptive. We’ll try to keep noise levels down and we apologise for the inconvenience.
• Plan ahead, follow temporary speed limits in place and drive carefully.
• In advance of our start date there will be digital signs set up along the route to inform the community about the closure and traffic directions for surrounding roads, also see the maps on our webpage.
• Take care while driving, walking, or cycling in the area.
• Follow all traffic signs, signals, and directions for safety.
• Signs will be in place and traffic managers will help keep things moving.
• We aim to start work on time but factors outside our control, such as weather, could mean a delayed timeline. If the delay is significant, we’ll let you know and update the webpage regularly.
• Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times.
• Bus stops could be temporarily closed in the area, and some services will be affected – please use the AT mobile app or visit the bus stops and use the QR codes at the effected bus stops for more information.
• Residents will be contacted 24 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
• Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
• Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
