(b) The work will be commenced and completed during September 2004. Although some preliminary planning has been done, Main Roads will undertake survey work and prepare detailed design and construction plans. (c) The works will include asphalting, white-lining, some minor median alterations and construction of additional cycle paths and treatments to reroute cycle traffic under the bridge. (d) No. (e) There will be one permanent lane for northbound traffic and two lanes for southbound traffic. Traffic management arrangements will be implemented to reverse the central southbound lane to a temporary northbound lane at the end of long weekends and other peak times as necessary to cater for high levels of northbound traffic. (f) The estimated cost of this work is approximately $300 000. (g) The sections of chip seal surfacing that remain on the approaches to the bridge will be asphalt surfaced as part of the project, and this is expected to reduce noise levels.
