Changed overnight traffic conditions on Nelson Bay Road

MOTORISTS are advised of changed overnight traffic conditions from this week for maintenance work at multiple locations on Nelson Bay Road at Fullerton Cove, Salt Ash and Nelson Bay.

Port Stephens Council will carry out the work on behalf of Transport for NSW, which includes asphalt resurfacing.

To minimise the impact to motorists, work will be carried out from Wednesday 10 to Thursday 19 December from 7pm to 5am, Sunday to Thursday.

Work is expected to be completed in three nights, spending one night at each location, weather permitting.

Sites with one lane in each direction will have single lane, alternating traffic flow arrangements, portable traffic lights and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h in place.

Sites with two lanes in each direction will have single lane closures, portable traffic lights and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h in place.

Over Size and/or Over Mass operators are advised to contact the project team on UHF channel 37 to be escorted through the site.

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