The work on the watermain on Bridge Street East, Collingwood Street and Halifax Street has been progressing well. We are now working on the Collingwood Street/Bridge Street intersection - connecting the pipe laid on Bridge Street to the pipe laid on Collingwood Street. This connection is right through the middle of the intersection, so the road is closed at this point. (from 2 June 2025).

Vehicles travelling north on Collingwood Street can turn left or right to detour around the worksite.

This work is expected to take around two weeks to complete, with a couple of days where there will be no northbound right turn onto Bridge Street. When this occurs, traffic can detour down Harley Street to get to businesses to the East of Collingwood Street (such as Fresh Choice, Suter Gallery etc.).

Work is also continuing on Bridge Street, with our contractor gathering the information they need to plan the construction. You may see some paint on the footpaths - this is where the electrical cables run under the street. We need to make sure we know exactly where these cables are, so that we can avoid them when carrying out our work.
