Mackay Regional Council contractors will begin work on the fourth stage of the Mackay Waterfront Priority Development Area (PDA), which will include upgrades to the Sydney and River Streets intersection and Bluewater Trail.
Vassallo Constructions Pty Ltd have been awarded the contract to improve the pedestrian and cycle connectivity between the City Centre and Riverside precincts.
The works will include new and wider footpaths, new park furniture, improved lighting and landscaping. There will also be reduced intersection wait times for cyclists and pedestrians at the signals.
Works will begin mid-January and are expected to be completed by the end of June, weather permitting.
The contractor will commence work in the park area and the footpath in front of the Telstra building.
Six car parks adjacent to the park area and six in the centre car parking area opposite Wood Street will be out of action during the works.
Pedestrian and cyclist detours will be in place and there will be reduced speed limits near the work area.
Previous projects making up the PDA include the Queens Park Revitalisation and the Riverside Revitalisation project (comprising the recently completed Pioneer River pontoon and River Wharves).
The Sydney and River streets intersection active transport crossing is proudly supported by the Queensland Government and Mackay Regional Council.
