One lane of Showground Road in Gosford – at its intersection with Racecourse Road – will be temporarily closed for northbound traffic on Saturday 28 May 2016 from 7am to 6pm while important tree removal works are undertaken.

Unfortunately, no access to Showground Road from Racecourse Road will be available during this time.

The tree removal works are required to allow the construction of a safe, all-weather concrete footpath that will cater for the large number of pedestrians in this area.

Southbound traffic flow on Showground Road will operate under traffic control and delays may be experienced.

Warning signs are in place advising of the works and motorists will be required to detour around the work site. Motorists are encouraged to use the Pacific Highway/Manns Road to access Showground Road tomorrow.

At this stage, the works are expected to be completed on Saturday 28 May 2016, however this will depend on any unforeseen delays such as wet weather. If wet weather is encountered, the works will be rescheduled to Saturday 4 June 2016.

Council apologises for any inconvenience to the community while these important works are carried out.
