Bridge Street East watermain works

Work is continuing on Bridge St East to upgrade the watermain. Work has started at the Collingwood Street end and will move down Bridge Street in approx. 100m sections to minimise disruption to business. The upgrade of this watermain will provide a direct benefit to the CBD and wider network by supplying larger volumes of water than is currently possible. The watermain is responsible for water that we drink, clean with and bathe in. As with the larger Bridge to Better project, the upgrade of this watermain will allow for future growth in the inner city and surrounding areas. As each section of work is underway, there will be a temporary loss of parking to allow traffic to continue to flow in each direction. All businesses in the area will remain open.
