Motorists and residents in Claremont are being urged to prepare for disruptions as a partial road closure along Claremont Boulevard comes into effect, with construction expected to continue until the end of February next year.

The closure between Stanhope and Hawthorne Roads forms part of the rollout of the MyCiTi bus service expansion. While one lane will remain open, commuters travelling from Stanhope towards Hawthorne will need to make use of alternative routes.

Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, says the City acknowledges the inconvenience, thanking motorists for their patience and understanding as the City works to complete essential infrastructure improvements.

“We fully recognise the significant disruption these lane closures cause, and we ask for your continued understanding. There is light at the end of the tunnel.”

Quintas further added that the upgrades will bring long-term benefits.

“Residents can look forward to improved intersections, enhanced landscaping, better signage and, in some cases, new street furniture and public art.”

He stressed that the project will not only improve transport but also boost the local economy and create new opportunities.
