Council wishes to advise that the temporary closure of Iris Street, between Albury and Neill Streets in Harden, to facilitate culvert replacement works, has been extended by up to four weeks due to ongoing wet weather and site conditions that are impacting construction timelines.
Over the coming weeks, works will focus on completing the installation of kerbing, footpaths, and handrails along the project site. These improvements will enhance safety for both motorists and pedestrians and ensure long-term durability of the crossing.
Detour signage will be in place, and there will be no pedestrian access through the site during this period. Council encourages road users to plan ahead, follow signage, and use alternative routes. The road will be reopened to traffic as soon as all works are finalised and the area is deemed safe for public access.
Council thanks residents and road users for their continued patience and understanding during this important infrastructure upgrade.
