Traffic changes on Redbank Road

SHARE

Early works are continuing for The Children's Hospital at Westmead Stage 2 Redevelopment, which includes the new Paediatric Services Building, a new Multi-storey Car Park, refurbishment of some existing areas and an improved main entry forecourt.

As part of these works, a section of Redbank Road is being realigned and widened to create the access into the new Multi-storey Car Park and improve traffic flows into the Precinct.

This work includes asphalting, building temporary lanes, road demolition, line marking, utility relocation, installing kerb and gutter and adjusting concrete and water filled barriers.

How will this work affect you
There will be some changes to traffic conditions while this work is being carried out. Pedestrian access will be maintained.

There will be a temporary lane closure on Redbank Road on Saturday 26 March 2022 from 8am to 5pm causing traffic to filter into one lane.

There will be a temporary lane closure at the intersection of Redbank Road and Labyrinth Way on Saturday 2 April 2022 and Sunday 3 April 2022 from 8am to 5pm causing traffic to filter into one lane.

There will be traffic switches on the following:

• Traffic on the southbound lane will be moved onto the newly built temporary traffic lane on Saturday 26 March 2022, weather permitting.
• Traffic on the northbound lane will be moved onto the newly built permanent lanes on Sunday 10 April 2022, weather permitting.

Work will commence on building new permanent lanes behind concrete barriers from Monday 28 March 2022, weather permitting.

Access to the Children’s Hospital loading zone will be maintained during this work under traffic supervision.
For your safety, please follow the directions of traffic controllers at all times.

How we will manage works
Strict environmental and planning controls are in place to manage construction impacts and mitigation measures will be implemented to manage noise, dust, and vibration. This includes measures such as:

• Noise and vibration monitors
• Water trucks to manage dust
• Traffic and pedestrian management
• Selection of equipment, machinery and construction work methods that help minimise noise and vibration.
