The Department of Transport and Main Roads has advised of a temporary closure of Cedars Road (from Nolans Pocket corner to the Isis Highway) for reconstruction works to start early in May 2012 and are expected to be completed by early June 2012, weather permitting. Work hours will generally be Monday to Saturday between 6 am and 6 pm. Reconstruction activities will include pavement strengthening and stabilization of the existing road surface and associated drainage works.
