Located along Main Street Chewton (Pyrenees Highway), the design allows for construction of 880metres of footpath between Adelaide Street and Railway Street on the southern side of the road and approximately 240 metres on the northern side running east from North Street. The extent of construction will be dependent on tender submissions.
An unmonitored (i.e. without traffic signal and zebra crossing) pedestrian crossing point will also be constructed near the Chewton General Store at the intersection of Pyrenees Highway and North Street / Fryers Road. The area contains a mixture of commercial and residential properties, and care will be taken during the construction period to minimise the impact to local businesses and residents.
The scope of the work includes:
- Earthworks (cut and fill) as required for the preparation of the formation for the footpath construction
- Construction of footpath
- Construction of exposed aggregate concrete kerb including ramps and laybacks
- Construction of drainage using precast or cast in situ components
- Relocation of services to allow for the footpath construction if required
- Modification of existing service pits to match the new footpath construction where required
- Tie in footpath reconstruction with all pre-existing footpaths and crossings
- Reinstatement of disturbed areas including the road pavement, verge, table drains and nature strip areas.
