Inverell Shire Council advises that, weather permitting, upgrade works will be undertaken on the Central Plaza car park and in the adjacent area of Oliver Street, over a seven-week period that commenced on Monday, August 21.

The undercover section of Central Plaza car park will be closed for one week starting August 21 and there will be restrictions to the available spaces in the main car parking area for a six-week period starting Monday, August 28.

Council has made provision for alternate parking on the vacant block of land on the corner of Lawrence and Oliver streets in order to limit the impact of any disruptions.

The Council apologises for any inconvenience caused by these works and members of the public are requested to exercise care and consideration when travelling adjacent to the worksite.

Inverell Shire Council has already started work on the Inverell-Bonshaw Road approximately 16km north of Ashford from Wednesday, July 5, and works will continue until August 30, 2017.

The works will be under traffic control and short delays can be expected.

Inverell Shire Council wishes to advise that, weather permitting, works on the Bridge approaches of the Neil McCosker - Tin Tot Bridge over the Macintyre River near Graman, from August 22  until September 15. During this time there will be temporary changes to traffic conditions and a detour will be in place. 

The bridge will be closed to all traffic until September 15.  A side track will remain open to traffic up to the 10-tonne load limit.  Vehicles over this limit will need to detour via the Ashford Road to access the Northern side of the Macintyre River.

Members of the public are requested to exercise care and consideration when travelling through the area.
