Traffic will be impacted on Peel Street, North Tamworth, near the intersection with O’Connell Street on Wednesday 7 February, 2018 due to construction work.

Construction crews will be completing work related to the decommissioning of the original sewer rising main which was replaced with a new one in December last year.

A manhole which provided access to a valve in the original main will be removed, the void filled with a mix of sand and cement and the roadway sealed with asphalt.

The site for the work – an area of about 1.5m by 1.5m - is in the middle of the northbound traffic lane of Peel Street (towards Oxley Vale) near the intersection with O’Connell Street.

Work will start at 7am Wednesday and continue until 5pm.

Motorists are asked to take extra care and obey construction signage. There will be some periods when only one lane of traffic will be open to through traffic. Traffic controllers will be on site to manage the flow of vehicles.
