February 2025

Council has contracted TasSpan to replace the Argyle Street bridge in Mangana with the work scheduled to commence from 13 January 2025 and completed by early February.

Work will include the provision of a temporary bypass to maintain local traffic flow, demolition of the existing bridge, and construction of a new concrete bridge and minor road works.

Due to the proximity of overhead power lines, there will be scheduled power outages to facilitate piling activities and lifting of bridge components by crane.  TasNetworks will notify residents in advance of these outages.  Additionally, Telstra landline services will be temporarily disrupted to allow for the relocation of an underground communications cable.  The timing of this disruption is yet to be determined.

Although the contractor will have an on-site supervisor available to assist with local enquiries, Councils Infrastructure Manager may also be contacted on 03 6376 7900 during office hours from 6th January 2025.

Road grading:

  • Nth Ansons Road
  • Eddystone Point Road

Roadside slashing has commenced, please keep an eye out for the contractor as he makes his way along narrow roads around the municipality. Approach with caution and drive to the reduced speed limit.

 

Playground Painting

Preparation work followed by painting is scheduled to commence at the Stieglitz playground in the week starting 17 February 2025.
The playground will be closed at least until the end of next week. We aim to reopen the playground on 1 March depending on weather, labour availability and other factors.
