The installation of pedestrian refuges as part of the Sydney Street Rejuvenation Project has been delayed due to wet weather.
Three pedestrian refuges were scheduled to be installed as part of the night works currently being undertaken.
Unfortunately, the window available to do the night works has been reduced due to the wet weather.
This delay has resulted in a timing clash between the concrete laying for the pedestrian medians and needs of a road user who transports significant infrastructure items and needs the full width of the road.
As there is insufficient time to install the pedestrian medians before the full width of the road is needed by this transport user, the next available window for additional night works to install the pedestrian medians will be in February 2023.
The location for the first centre median that has already been excavated is being reinstated with asphalt paving to make it trafficable.
Night works to install new light poles will still proceed as planned over the next few weeks. Traffic management will be in place between Bourke and Union Street from 7pm to 5am each weeknight.
