The intersection of Wharf and Brett streets at Tweed Heads will be closed for about a week, from tomorrow (22 July), to allow Council to replace a failing water main and upgrade a section of Brett Street.
The intersection will be closed during working hours, from 7am to 5pm.
In the lead-up to closing the intersection, Council closed the northbound shoulder and left traffic lane of Wharf Street from near Sharp Honda Tweed (opposite Monastery Lane) to install the new water main.
Tomorrow (22 July), the installation will be nearing the intersection, requiring it to be closed to allow workers to install the water main under Brett Street.
Water supply is expected to be disrupted for a few hours this Sunday (24 July) to allow Council to cutover to the new main without affecting businesses in the area, which include the Tweed Day Surgery.
Once the water main installation is complete, Council will take advantage of the intersection closure to mill off the existing road surface in Brett Street, apply a cement layer to strengthen the road substructure and then apply a new asphalt surface.
This work will require the intersection to remain closed until next Thursday (28 July) and again for one day in early August, weather permitting.
