Henry Road and Dohles Rocks Road project update

Published 15 December 2022

Roadworks are progressing on the Henry Road and Dohles Rocks Road construction project. Council is reconstructing and widening the existing road, installing traffic signals and increasing road height for increased flood immunity.

To date progress has been impacted by latent ground conditions and unseasonal weather events, with future events likely. Considering the reduced traffic loads during the holiday period there is an opportunity to achieve a faster delivery of the Henry Road section of this project. Therefore Council have made the decision to close Henry Road during the period of 17 December 2022 to 20 January 2023.

Council believes the best outcome for the community is an outcome where the project is completed as soon as possible. A closure during this period would create the least disturbance with no school traffic and reduced commuter traffic.

Detour Map

Dohles Rocks Road will remain open.

Detour map showing Henry Road is closed but access to Griffin Sports Complex is maintained. Detour is in place via Brays Road, McClintock Drive and Dohles Rocks Road Griffin.

Works involved:

  • removal of existing temporary roads
  • earthworks and installation of multicell culverts
  • road pavement and surfacing
  • street lighting. 

Work hours

During the closure period of 17 December 2022 to 20 January 2023 our contractor has been directed to take full opportunity and thus work durations have been extended to seven days a week between the hours of 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM with the exception of Sundays which will be from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Our contractor will not be working during the key Christmas Holiday period of 23rd December 2022 to 2nd January 2023.

Should any works be required outside of these hours a notification will be provided to nearby properties in advance of this occurring.
