Centenary Bridge Upgrade – Temporary Closure, Sinnamon Road

Centenary Bridge Upgrade – Temporary closure of eastbound movement on Sinnamon Road

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) advises that eastbound movement on Sinnamon Road, between Yallambee Road and the Jindalee/Oxley northbound off-ramp, will close for one week from Sunday, 14 July 2024 for night works (weather and site conditions permitting).

The Sinnamon Road northbound on-ramp will also close, while the Jindalee/Oxley northbound off-ramp will remain open.

Northbound motorists will be detoured south to the Mount Ommaney interchange on Dandenong Road, near the Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre, to access the Centenary Motorway. Emergency vehicles will have priority access.

Access to businesses along Sinnamon Road will be maintained via Kooringal Drive. Traffic control will direct motorists and assist bike riders and pedestrians on the active transport path.

Work activities:

• realignment of the Sinnamon Road northbound on-ramp
• temporary pavement widening on the Centenary Motorway
• construction of concrete median strip
• installation of traffic barriers, signage and line-marking.

Timing:

• From Sunday, 14 July 2024 for one week (excluding Friday and Saturday nights).
• Works will be undertaken at night from 7pm to 5am, Sunday to Thursday, for road user and worker safety, and to avoid what would otherwise be extensive queuing and disruption to the road network.

Expected impacts:

• Changed traffic conditions: Temporary traffic changes, including the closure of eastbound access on Sinnamon Road, between Yallambee Road and the Jindalee/Oxley northbound off-ramp, and the Sinnamon Road northbound on-ramp. A northbound lane closure will also be in place on the Centenary Motorway. Detours, roadworks speed limit reductions and short-term traffic disruptions will be in place. Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the directions of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
• Pedestrians and bike riders: A section of the Centenary Motorway Bikeway on Sinnamon Road near the on-ramp will be under intermittent traffic control to ensure safe movement of pedestrians, bike riders and construction vehicles. Please follow directions from traffic controllers.
• Temporary construction noise: Heavy machinery will be in use and nearby residents and businesses may experience short-term impacts, including noise, flashing lights, dust, vibration and odour from construction equipment and activities on-site.

Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on the local community and surrounds. TMR appreciates your patience and cooperation while these important works are carried out.
