Lord Baden Powell Drive will be closed to all through traffic from Wednesday 9 August for up to 12 weeks, with detours in place during the closure.
Local traffic, including visitors to the Museum of the Riverina Botanic Gardens site, will maintain access under traffic control.
This decision was not made lightly.
After thorough consideration and extensive discussions with the contractor, Council reached the conclusion to close the road. Safety, planning and the speed of construction were all taken into account.
We recognise the road's significance to the community and we will work to reopen the road as soon as possible.
