" A feature of the project is that Council was able to satisfy the local  community’s expectation that the road remain open to traffic during  reconstruction, which was achieved for the entire 30 weeks of the  project, with only short traffic delays. Community engagement efforts  prior to the letting of the tender and during the project meant that  affected residents were kept informed throughout by Council. The fact  that the roadway remained open during the project met with high  community approval. ''
