A temporary road closure will occur on Hope Street in association with a private development project.
As a courtesy to residents and road users, the following traffic impact is being advised in advance.
A temporary road closure will occur on a section of Hope Street, Cooktown (between Newman Street and Mulligan Highway/Racecourse Road, as indicated on the map).
The approved works will be undertaken by the developer’s contractors and involve works to be undertaken on final trim and sealing.
Closure periods:
Temporary closures are expected from Thursday 12 November to Friday 13 November.
Access and Traffic Management
The developer has advised that:
- Residents directly impacted by the works have been contacted.
- Police and emergency services have been notified of the proposed works and traffic impacts.
Traffic control measures, detours, and signage will be in place throughout the closure periods. - Property access for surrounding residents and businesses will remain available via detours where required.
- Access for pedestrians, emergency services, and waste collection services will be maintained where possible.
Motorists are requested to follow all traffic signage and exercise caution in the area.
Slow down on the detours
The detour roads run through quiet residential streets where kids, pets and neighbours are out and about. Please stick to the speed limit and drive with care.
Enquiries
As these works are associated with a private development project, enquiries regarding the works or traffic impacts should be directed to contractors on site.
