New England Highway Willow Tree roadworks to take three months

Work to improve drainage, followed by road rebuilding, will be carried out on a one kilometre section of the highway south of Willow Tree and is expected to take about three months to complete.

Work will be carried out from 7am to 5pm on weekdays and from 7am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Some lane closures will be in place with traffic control and a reduced speed limit for the safety of workers and motorists.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, and follow the direction of signs and traffic control.
