Temporary Roundabout Closure - Mitre & Howick Street

Bathurst Regional Council recently received Federal Government ‘Black Spot’ grant funding to improve the safety of the Mitre & Howick Streets roundabout. 

The funding of $445,000 will address the following proposed reconstruction works: 

  • Removal and replacement of the existing centre island apron with a larger apron. The central landscaped part of the centre island will remain unchanged. 

  • Removal and reconstruction of all existing splitter islands to remove slip lanes and increase pedestrian refuge space at crossings. 

  • The centre island apron and splitter island reconstruction works include level adjustments to improve drainage and road pavement crossfall. 

  • Milling of existing road surface and placement of new asphalt to match the new larger centre island and road pavement alignment/levels and provide a smooth and high grip driving surface. 

  • New line marking and signage relocation to suit the new roundabout geometry. 

Works will commence on Tuesday 15 October 2024, requiring full closure of the roundabout for the first 3-weeks of the initial reconstruction work. Residential driveways adjacent to the work site will remain accessible. 

In total, the works are expected to take 6 -10 weeks with completion anticipated by Friday 20 December 2024. Following the initial 3-week full road closure, the road will be reopened to traffic in accordance with traffic control conditions while the remainder of the works are completed. 

For more information contact Council on 6333 6100. 

Progress updates will be provided through Council’s Facebook and website throughout the duration of these works.
