The road safety improvements in Cromer are close to being finished. High friction asphalt has been placed near the intersection of Mass and Alfred Street, with the installation of audio-tactile line marking to follow soon.
Read more on what we are doing and how we are managing the works below.
We are making our roads safer following a review of historical data and feedback from the community about vehicle and pedestrian safety in Cromer. We have installed several safety improvements for the area including:
Carawa Road and Fisher Road North, Cromer – New Roundabout
Carawa Road and Alfred Street, Cromer – Pedestrian Crossing Upgrade and Speed Hump
These improvements were approved by the Northern Beaches Local Traffic Committee on 4 July 2023.
The Local Traffic Committee has also supported the raised pedestrian crossing and the connecting footpaths at the 5 September 2023 meeting.
Partial road detours may be in place as we complete the works. Otherwise, traffic control will be on site to ensure the road network will remain open at all times.
Construction of the Carawa Road and Alfred Street, Cromer – Pedestrian Crossing Upgrade and Speed Hump is due to commence mid-April 2024. We anticipate these safety improvements will be completed by August 2024, subject to weather and other unforeseen delays.
Construction of the Carawa Road and Fisher Road North, Cromer – New Roundabout will begin in May 2024. Works are expected to be completed in August 2024, subject to weather and other unforeseen delays.
Whilst efforts will be deployed to minimise disruption, there will be noise generated from construction activities such as demolition, installation of formwork, and pouring of concrete.
Works will be undertaken during the day. Sometimes we need to work outside normal working hours and we will notify our neighbours before night work takes place.
Construction can be disruptive, and we thank you for your patience while we complete this important community project.
This project is funded through the Federal Government's Blackspot Program. The Australian Government's Black spot program targets specific road locations where crashes have occurred by funding measures to reduce the risk and severity of further crashes occurring. The installation of the proposed measures would improve overall road safety for both motorists and pedestrians and would potentially reduce the likelihood and severity of accidents at this location.
