Inland Rail is continuing the works on the Seymour-Avenel Road bridge that will see detours in place for some time yet.
Ongoing works involve piling and concrete formwork for the new bridge abutments along with deep drilling to strengthen the new bridge foundations.
Work will also start on the approach roads either side of the bridge.
A test train will run along the rail line near the Seymour-Avenel Road bridge site to assess the track performance.
This is required following the completion of track slew works to shift the track horizontally and must be undertaken prior to passenger services returning to the line.
Work will run from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and on some weekends between 7am and 5pm.
Business and local traffic access to Granville Drive will be maintained. However road users are advised that trucks and other vehicles entering and exiting the construction site, may cause minor traffic delays.
While the Seymour-Avenel Road bridge remains closed, detours are in place via Avenel Road. Traffic management is in place to ensure safe access for all road users.
