On Sunday 15 and Monday 16 March 2020 (weather and construction conditions permitting), the road connecting Frizzo Road and Pignata Road under the Bruce Highway in Palmview, will be temporarily closed at night between 7pm and 5am.
The nightly closures will allow for demolition works to be carried out on the old northbound Bruce Highway carriageway.
