There will be changed traffic conditions around Tascott railway station for two days sometime before December 20 as investigation works for accessibility and safety upgrades begin.
With the work dependent upon weather conditions, motorists are being urged to be vigilant for the entire period and adapt to any changes to accommodate the investigations on Brisbane Water Dr and at the commuter carpark in Glenrock Pde.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch welcomed the beginning of investigation works after years of community advocacy regarding the need for increased accessibility and safety at the station.
“It is wonderful to see these investigation works commencing as the design work for a safer and more accessible Tascott station commences,” she said.
“I have fought alongside our community since I was elected for this upgrade, and I am glad to see Transport for NSW commencing the investigation and design phase of works, ready for further community consultation once the final design is complete.
“Everyone in our community deserves access to the freedom that public transport provides, and this investigation work is the next step in making this a reality at Tascott station.”
During the two days of investigations, traffic control, road closures and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists.
Footpath closures with pedestrian and cyclist detours will be in place and a small number of carpark spaces near the train station will be temporarily unavailable.
