Facelift to take place along popular stretch within CBD
Gladstone Regional Council will soon commence work to revamp a section of road bordering the Gladstone Central Business District.
The Glenlyon Street (Bramston St to Herbert St) Road Upgrade will involve significant road pavement renewal and widening along Glenlyon St (north and southbound lanes), with footpath work, kerb and channel replacement, removal and installation of road signs and landscape works within the median strip also taking place.
Works will commence from Monday 5 February and continue until late June 2024, site conditions and weather permitting.
Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett said these upcoming works will improve asset performance and longevity, while reducing ongoing maintenance costs for road infrastructure in the area.
“Works will be conducted across four stages, beginning with Stage 1 which involves the southbound footpath works along Glenlyon Street,” Councillor Burnett said.
“Stage 2 will see work carried out on the North and Southbound Central lanes median strip, Stage 3 will concentrate on the North and Southbound outside lanes and Stage 4 will see final asphalt and line-marking works take place in all areas.
“During these works, the area of road being worked on will close to traffic, with detours required, so please factor this into your daily commute if using this stretch of road.
“Where practicable, works will be planned to consider peak hour traffic times with detail about any significant disruptions to residences or businesses shared ahead of work starting.”
The Glenlyon St (Bramston-Herbert St) Road Upgrade project is funded by the Queensland Government’s Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme (TIDS) ($256,651) and Gladstone Regional Council ($202,935).
