Mermaid Avenue improvement works to start

Published on 15 November 2022

UPDATE Friday 25 November 2022

Work on Mermaid Avenue is now scheduled to begin Friday 2 December.

UPDATE Friday 18 November 2022

Work on Mermaid Avenue will be delayed to ensure watermains will not be affected by excavation work.

MidCoast Council will begin an upgrade of Mermaid Avenue, Hawks Nest, on Monday 21 November, weather permitting.

These roadworks are part of Council’s $7.5M local roads improvement package this financial year.

Mermaid Avenue has been selected because the upgrade will minimise the need for repeat maintenance, making it a strategic investment.

There will be single-lane traffic conditions and stop / go traffic control. There may be short delays, so please plan extra time for trips until works are complete.   

Driveway access may be limited for some residents. Council is notifying affected households.

Works will involve pavement stabilisation and bitumen sealing.

Please drive with extra care, paying close attention to all traffic control measures and directions from the traffic control crews.

Every effort will be made to minimise the disruption to local residents and road users.

Works are expected to be complete by Wednesday 30 November, weather permitting.
