Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program, we’re constructing a pedestrian refuge island on Blackburn Road, Doncaster, to improve community safety while crossing the road.
Works will include:
- installing a pedestrian refuge island
- improving the footpath
- relocating the bus stop to improve safety.
Where is it?
Construction will occur on Blackburn Road, south of the Blackburn Road and Serpells Road intersection.
When will the works happen?
Construction will likely begin in late August 2024 and be completed in December 2024. Subject to weather conditions and third party approvals.
Why is the refuge island needed?
This refuge island will connect the existing footpaths on Blackburn Road, improving pedestrian connectivity. The upgrade will provide a safe and accessible walking route to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles.
How will the works affect me?
The works will take place on weekdays during the hours of 9.00am and 4.00pm and on weekends during the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm.
There may be some construction noise and minor traffic delays. The footpath will be closed and detours will be in place to help guide you through the area. There will also be temporary disruptions to driveway access. We will contact the affected properties directly prior to construction.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve the footpath connections in your area.
