Road closure at Reservoir Road Yean Yean

Re: Bridge over the Plenty River on Reservoir road Yan Yean.

We have been awarded a contract by the City of Whittlesea to replace the above bridge.

The existing bridge is a single lane steel and concrete structure.

The new bridge will be a prestressed concrete structure with stronger and safer railing. It will have two traffic lanes and a footpath (on the upstream side of the bridge). As part of the work we will also widen the road approaches at both ends of the bridge.

As new bridge will be nearly as wide as the existing road reserve, it will be necessary to demolish the existing bridge prior to construction of the new bridge.

This will necessitate the closure of Reservoir Road until 19/9/09.

During the road closure the detour around the site will be via Plenty Road, Arthurs Creek Road and Recreation Road. This detour will be signed during construction.

We regret any inconvenience this work will create but trust that you will understand the necessity of these works.

Yours Sincerely
