Murray Street, Finley Reconstruction

• Project scheduleIncomplete

Berrigan Shire Council, in partnership with Transport for NSW, will be upgrading Murray Street, Finley, between Wollamai and Pinnuck Streets. These essential works aim to improve road safety, pedestrian access, stormwater drainage, and overall street appearance.

 

The project is segregated into two stages as below:

• Stage 1: Road reconstruction works by Transport for NSW, starting Thursday, 16 May 2025.
  Transport for NSW will manage traffic management to guide school children across the road while the crossing is being moved. 
  Detour below:

  

• Stage 2: Footpath, pedestrian crossing, stormwater, watermains, landscaping, and accessibility upgrades by Berrigan Shire Council – beginning June 2025.
  No detour in place, one lane to remain open at all times.

Scope of Works

• The road will be fully resurfaced with new paving.
• The existing pedestrian crossing will be relocated to mid block to improve safety.
• New kerbs and gutters will be built on the East side of the street.
• A smooth, concrete footpath will be laid down on the East side of the street.
• Clearly marked parking bays will be added in safe spots along the road.
• Ramps that meet disability access standards (DDA ramps) will be installed at crossings to make it easier for people with mobility needs.
• The stormwater drainage system will be upgraded.
• An AC water main will be replaced with a uPVC water main to improve water supply.
• New landscaping and greenery will be added to make the street more attractive.
• Road level tree surrounds will remain.

A brief interruption to the untreated water supply (up to 4 hours) will occur during water main connection works. Affected properties will be notified ahead of time. After reconnection, please run taps briefly to clear any discolouration.

 

The parking spaces lost due to the new mid-block pedestrian crossing will be offset by spaces gained from the removal of the old crossing. We lost four parking spots for the new crossing but gained four by eliminating the old crossing and reducing the size of the raised island.
