🚧 Roadwork on Lookout Road and McCaffrey Drive, New Lambton

New Lambton Heights residents should prepare for changed traffic conditions due to scheduled roadwork at the intersection of Lookout Road and McCaffrey Drive. As part of the Rankin Park to Jesmond section of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, there will be road closures and detours in place.

From 7pm Friday, June 13th, to 5am Monday, June 16th, McCaffrey Drive will be closed in both directions between Marshall Street and Lookout Road. Lookout Road will be reduced to one lane each way. Detours of up to five kilometres may add up to 15 minutes to travel times. Traffic controllers will be on-site to direct motorists.

Heavy vehicles with ground contact or an overall width greater than 3m should contact the project team at 1800 818 433 at least one day ahead of movement. Freight operators are advised that the project operates on UHF channel 52xt at the Southern Interchange. Vehicles travelling under a permit must not travel off the approved route unless an updated permit is obtained from the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.
