As part of the upgrade the existing intersection of Burkes Lane and the Pacific Highway was closed to traffic on Friday with road users now directed to the East West Rd intersection.

To access the Pacific Highway from Burkes Lane, road users will need to use the new local road from Burkes Lane to Deep Creek Rd, and turn onto the highway.

This detour will be in place until the intersection with East West Rd and the Pacific Highway reopens later this year.

Bus users are advised the existing school bus stop at Burkes Lane will be removed and students directed to use the bus stop next to Valla Beach pre school on Valla Beach Rd.

Motorists are advised to plan their journey, follow all signs and allow for potential short delays.

Wet weather may change work dates and times.

Electronic message signs will also advise motorists of up to date information on the timing of the closure.
