Schedule for repairs
to Hairpin Bend, temporary road closure & temporary changes to
parking at Cargo Wharf
This week (28/9) Pittwater Council and their contractor Boral will
commence preparations for the repairs to the Hairpin bend.
To make sure this is completed as smoothly and safely as possible there
will be some temporary closures and changes to parking at Cargo
Wharf.
The hairpin will need to be closed for the duration of the Asphalt
works. If there is any early traffic on the Hairpin whilst the works
are still incomplete then they will be damaged which will significantly
reduce the life of the repair. Council will be putting up immovable
barricades on either side of the work space to prevent vehicles driving
through.
Note: This is a hot mix asphalt so the road will be able to be used
once the works are completed without additional delay for curing.
For the duration of the asphalting, all vehicles which would normally
park on the corners of the concrete path up from Cargo Wharf must be
moved as well as any vehicles which would otherwise park on the side of
the road between Cargo Wharf and the Hairpin.
Due to the small road width, the truck we are bringing onto the island
will require as much space as possible to manoeuvre. The truck will be
carrying Asphalt so if it arrives on site and the vehicles are blocking
its path work cannot proceed. Time is critical with the asphalt as
after a few hours it hardens and becomes unusable
