GORDON ROAD
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
NOTICE FOR
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING TEMPORARY CLOSURE
February 2013
As you are aware, construction work to
upgrade the Noarlunga rail line commenced on 2 January 2013. The upgrade of the rail line
will include upgrading 13 kilometres of
track from Oaklands to Adelaide by installing gauge convertible concrete
sleepers, new ballast, new and refurbished rail, upgrading eight level crossings
and improving drainage.
As part of this project, it is necessary
to close some pedestrian crossings temporarily throughout the construction
period to ensure work proceeds safely and
efficiently.
The pedestrian crossing located at
Gordon Road, Black Forest will be temporarily closed for approximately 8 weeks
from early February 2013 with no pedestrian access available at this
location. Alternative pedestrian crossings are located at the city end of
Emerson Station and at Cowper and Homer Roads.
Pedestrians are advised to
only cross the railway tracks at designated locations as construction equipment
will be operating in the rail corridor.
Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to
residents, however some construction noise is unavoidable. We recognise that
reversing beepers on site vehicles are often disruptive, however for safety
reasons they cannot be switched off.
Traffic speeds will be reduced to 25km in affected
areas, and we ask that motorists, pedestrians and cyclists observe the
directions of traffic control staff and signage in the area. DPTI
The disruption is moving further south. This was recently letter boxed in the area adjacent to the crossing.
Why is it that not one mention has been made of the fact that the overhead gantries for electrification do not fit in the rail corridor and are being installed on Nairne Terrace at Forestville?
ReplyDeleteThe residents have no idea that this is going to occur. There was a notice letterboxed last week regarding "pilot hole drilling" that is happening this week, however it is not to be found on the DPTI internet site like all the others.
I don't know the answer but will do my best to find out.
ReplyDeleteThe answer has now been posted under the Nairne Tce. I welcome your response to the reply I received.
