Commonwealth Avenue Bridge lane closures expected until December

Lanes close at either end of the bridge in both directions during set work hours until December.

The bridge works help finish Stage 1 of the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge renewal, with Stage 2 to follow. The National Capital Authority says lanes close at either end of the bridge, in both directions, during work hours.

Work hours are 9:30 am to 4 pm on weekdays, and 7 am to 5 pm on weekends. Evoenergy will also start essential work to relocate a high-voltage power supply for the project.

Motorists should expect temporary traffic changes on Commonwealth Avenue from now until December. The authority thanked people for their patience, and for travelling carefully or taking other routes.
