Traffic diversion at Hagley/Waltham Park Road intersection this weekend

The National Works Agency (NWA) says traffic will be diverted from a section of the Hagley Park Road/Waltham Park Road intersection this weekend to facilitate ongoing pipe-laying works.

The NWA says the works are to be carried out between 8 a.m. on Saturday, August 25 and 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 26.

He says as a result, traffic approaching the intersection from the direction of Woodpecker Avenue, Keesing Avenue or Molynes Road will not be able to enter the intersection directly.

Motorists will instead be able to do so via McArthur Avenue on to Queensbury or Clunies Avenue to exit on to Hagley Park Road in the vicinity of Superior Honda.

Motorists will thereafter make a right turn on to Hagley Park Road to travel toward Waltham Park Road.  

The NWA says drivers approaching the intersection from the direction of Chisolm Avenue will make the right turn on to Hagley Park Road, then turn left on to Queensbury or Clunies Avenue, travel on to McArthur Avenue to exit on to Waltham Park Road.

The agency further says motorists who are travelling from the direction of Three Miles will go across the intersection, turn left on to Queensbury or Clunies Avenue and travel along the remaining sections of the detour route.

It says road signs and flag persons will be positioned along the detour route to direct motorists, who are being reminded to obey the instructions.

The NWA says that as the infrastructural works on the Hagley Park Road Improvement Project continue over the next few months, traffic changes will be implemented from time to time to facilitate the progress of the works.
