The Banora Point upgrade project team is set to carry out work near the Darlington Drive roundabout to build a temporary retaining wall.
The work, in preparation for installing the foundations for the new northbound off ramp, which will pass over Darlington Drive, will be carried out over four days between Thursday, November 10 and Friday November 18.
“When the work to build the temporary retaining wall is complete, the foundations for the new off ramp will be driven into the soil,” Federal member for Richmond Justine Elliot said.
Work to lay the foundations will be carried out for a total of four days between Monday 14 and Friday, November 25.
“Installing foundations of this kind can create increased levels of noise and vibration, which is why the work will be carried out only during normal work hours between 7am and 6pm,” State member for Tweed Geoff Provest said.
“The project team will take action to reduce noise and vibration from the activity, including stopping work for breaks and carrying out regular noise and vibration monitoring.
“Exactly which days the work will be carried out on will not be known in advance, because the work depends on weather and the progress of other stages of the project,” Geoff said.
The Banora Point upgrade project is jointly funded with $347 million from the Federal Government and $12 million from the NSW State Government.
