The works along Merrylands Rd between Burford Street and Cambridge Street are complete. The previous completion of works in and around Main Lane has allowed the construction the new Merrylands Civic Square to get underway (separate project).
The last remaining stage of infrastructure upgrade works will be the reconstruction of the large Sydney Water stormwater culvert that passes underneath Addlestone Rd at the intersection with Merrylands Rd. This will improve localised flooding in this area.
This is a large and complex piece of work which also requires a number of other services to be relocated. It is expected to take up to 6 months to complete and current plans are for works to take place in the second half of 2023, subject to weather and approvals.
This section of Addlestone Rd and the intersection with Merrylands Rd will need to be closed when the works are being carried out. Council will be working closely with the Contractor (CA&I) to minimise disruption to residents and businesses. We will endeavor to provide access to shops and businesses at all times, however, there will be some unavoidable disruptions to access, parking and pedestrian traffic. We will also endeavor to minimise the noise from our works, but some construction activities will generate unavoidable noise.
