To the householder & business operator JUNE 2013 Dear resident/business operator, RE: James Ruse Drive, Rosehill to Clyde – Night work starting Tuesday 2 July 2013 Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is starting work to improve the flow of traffic on James Ruse Drive from Rosehill to Clyde. This project is part of the NSW Government’s $125 million Pinch Point Program which aims to reduce delays, manage congestion and maintain travel times on Sydney’s main roads during week day peak periods. More information on the James Ruse Drive project can be found at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roadprojects search ‘James Ruse Drive’. The first stage of work will start on Tuesday 2 July, 2013 and will take about three months to complete, weather permitting. Work involves: • extending the right turn lane from James Ruse Drive southbound to Parramatta Road • extending the right turn lane from James Ruse Drive southbound to Prospect Street. Future stages of work will include an upgrade to the James Ruse Drive/Hassall Street/Grand Avenue intersection and restricting right turns into and out of Hope Street. To minimise traffic disruptions, most of this work will be done at night, Sunday to Friday, from 8pm to 5am. The site compound for this project is located at the Arthur Street Granville M4 viaduct underpass. There will be noise associated with this work, however every effort will be made to minimise the impact of noise on nearby businesses and residents. Please allow extra journey time as delays may occur while work is carried out. The section of road adjacent to the work area will be partially closed during night working hours to ensure road worker and road user safety. Detours are not required. During this work motorists are asked to follow the signs, including reduced speed limits, and to follow the direction of traffic controllers. Up to date information regarding this work, including any date changes, will be displayed on electronic message signs in the area. RMS apologises for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciate the patience of motorists.
