Pedestrian and traffic changes
You may notice increased construction vehicles within Kid’s Research Lane due to works being carried out in the area. In addition, large deliveries and crane lifts has commenced in Research Lane.
 
Staff who travel through this area to access Hawkesbury Road and staff car parks will need to use an alternative route.  
 
Access will remain open between CHW and KR via Level 2, and to the KR loading dock and plant rooms.
 
The CHW bike cage will remain open and accessible. For the safety of bicycle users, entry is via the rear of the hospital and walk through the Genetics Corridor, or alternatively enter from the main entrance. Access to the CHW bike cage and Chinese Gardens via Research Lane will be closed until several key construction projects are complete. 
 
As always, please follow direction of signage and site staff for your safety. There may be some changes to traffic conditions while work is taking place including intermittent stoppages and lane closures. 

Traffic management is also in place in Research Lane to ensure flow and safety of construction vehicles and emergency vehicles.

Motorists are reminded to slow down to 20km/h while travelling along Redbank Road. 
 
Our work hours
This work will occur during standard construction hours (Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm, Saturdays 8am to 5pm). We will provide further notification of any work that is required to take place outside of these hours.

The site will be shutdown during Christmas and New Year Period from Saturday 21 December 2024 and will re-open on Monday 6 January 2025.

How we will manage works
For your safety, please stay on marked paths, and follow the signs or any directions from site staff during construction. 


You may notice an increase in building activities in the corridor widening on Level 3. This may include increase in site staff, signage, noise, vibration and hoarding. There are planned disruptions with impacted stakeholders being notified.

Noise, dust and vibration will be closely monitored. This includes mitigation measures such as:
  • A Class and B Class hoardings
  • Programming noisy works to occur during the day
  • Noise and vibration monitors
  • Water trucks to manage dust
  • Noise blankets
