SPEED BUMP WORKS, DAVIDSON STREET, INGHAM

‍

Sections of Davidson Street will be temporarily closed to through‑traffic to enable speed bumps to be installed at the intersection of McIlwraith Street and Davidson Street, Ingham. Local property access will be maintained at all times, with signed detours in place to allow residents and businesses to enter and exit the area.  

Works are scheduled to begin from Monday 11 May 2026 to Monday 1 June 2026, weather and site conditions permitting. The project will be completed in three stages, with progressive road closures, signed traffic detours, and pedestrian access maintained at all times to ensure the safety of the community and construction crews.

‍

Stage 1 on Monday 11 May to Monday 18 May 2026

• Davidson Street will be closed to through‑traffic south of McIlwraith Street to allow construction of the first traffic‑calming device; and

• Local traffic access will be maintained, with detours in place for non‑local traffic.

‍

Stage 2 on Monday 18 May to Monday 25 May 2026

• Davidson Street will be closed to through‑traffic north of McIlwraith Street while the second speed bump is constructed;

• During this stage, part of the Stage 1 area will reopen to traffic, while the remaining section remains closed to allow concrete to cure; and

• Local access will continue to be maintained via detours.

‍

Stage 3 on Commencing Monday 25 May 2026

• Sections of Davidson Street will progressively reopen as concrete cures; and

• All lanes are expected to reopen by Monday 1 June 2026, weather permitting.

‍

Line marking will be completed in mid‑June 2026 during day works, with traffic control in place, to clearly mark the new speed bumps.  

Motorists are asked to follow all signage, observe detours, and drive with care when travelling through the area.  

‍

The traffic‑calming devices are designed to reduce vehicle speeds, improve visibility at the intersection, and create a safer environment for drivers, pedestrians and nearby residents.
