Approach roads on both sides of the bridge are also being built to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
An Inland Rail spokesperson said that construction works are scheduled thoughtfully, running from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and 7am to 5pm on weekends, to minimise disruption to the community.
While construction noise is anticipated during daylight hours, robust mitigation measures are in place to minimise disturbance.
Traffic management plans have been implemented to handle the movement of trucks and vehicles, aiming to keep any delays brief and infrequent.
The Seymour-Avenel Rd bridge is temporarily closed, with a well-signposted detour established via Avenel Rd.
Importantly, access to Granville Dve for residents and businesses will remain open throughout the construction period.
The project involves carefully planned and approved vegetation removal within the designated area.
Residents can expect to see heavy machinery and equipment operating efficiently on-site, along with regular deliveries of construction materials.
A range of essential construction vehicles, from trucks and concrete pumps to cranes and excavators, will be operating within the designated works area.
All machinery will be operated by trained professionals adhering to strict safety protocols.
A comprehensive impact management plan, including on-site water carts for dust suppression, strategic traffic management for safe road access, and stringent environmental controls, will be in place to protect the local ecosystem throughout the construction process.
