Cowpasture Road, Cecil Hills - night work and traffic changes

We are building a water pumping station, a reservoir and water pipelines within our Liverpool Reservoir facility in Cecil Hills.

Work will begin to install electrical cabling by tunnelling underneath Cowpasture Road. To minimise impacts to traffic during the day, we’ll complete this work over 10 night shifts between Wednesday 22 September and Friday 15 October 2021, weather permitting.

Traffic changes

During the works there will be changes to traffic conditions on Cowpasture Road. Lane closures and a speed reduction will be in place for the safety of motorists and our workers. Please see map for the location of work.

Our work hours

From Wednesday 22 September we’ll be working at night.

When tunnelling under Cowpasture Road (underbore), we will need to work five consecutive nights to complete this work. For all other activities work will be limited to three nights in a row followed by one night’s rest before work re-commences.

Our nightwork hours:

• Monday to Sunday 7 pm to 6 am

Our standard (day) hours:

• Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm

• Saturday 8 am to 1 pm, if required.
