Hilton Terrace upgrade almost finished
|
The Hilton Terrace upgrade is almost complete.
Thanks for your patience this week as our contractors finished the asphalt works.
Line-marking will be completed Sunday and Monday night, between 7pm and 6am.
This work can be done at night because the noise impacts for residents will be minimal compared to the asphalt works. If traveling through Hilton Terrace allow extra time.
With only minor works such as traffic islands and beautification to follow, the Hilton Terrace upgrade is nearly done - great news for the community and motorists.
The brand new roundabout will vastly improve traffic-flow through the Ernest Street intersection.
New on-road cycles lanes, completion of the shared pathway, indented parking bays and new footpaths are some of the other features of the $3M upgrade.
For project information, see the Tewantin section of the Work in Progress webpage.

Trails off limits
|
Trails seven and eight of the Noosa Trail Network remain closed to public access to allow for Yurol-Ringtail Forest plantation harvesting. Unfortunately, a number of people have entered these areas, despite the warning signs, which is putting their safety and that of the forestry workers at risk.

Bridge rebuild on track
|
Work on the Orealla Crescent Bridge replacement project is progressing, with nine concrete deck units now in place, signalling the halfway-mark of the build.
Each concrete deck unit weighs 13.5 tonnes and was prefabricated offsite at Beaudesert and transported.
The multi-million dollar project is jointly funded by Noosa Council and the Australian Government. Detours remain in place until early September. Motorists are encouraged to avoid David Low Way and travel via the Sunshine Motorway.
