The construction team is monitoring the forecast for Tuesday 23 August and if the weather is suitable, will carry out the planned closure and bridge beam lifts then. If the lifts go ahead, State Highway 2 will be reduced to one lane each way, just north of State Highway 58, from around 6.30pm on Tuesday night. The placement of the beams will require a series of rolling approximately 30-minute road closures on State Highway 2 from 10pm through the early hours of Wednesday morning
