It’s taken patience, cooperation and plenty of smiles … but four months of roadworks have almost been completed, transforming the Wilson St entrance to Achievement House.
As May 2024 starts, only a few road cones are left and traffic is back to flowing two-way on Wilson St.
The foot and cycle paths are well in use.
Achievement House general manager Neil Fynn says the roadworks project was an excellent example of a community working together.
“A big shout out to the CAMEX Civil crew and the other contractors working on the project,” he says.
“They were always good with communication and kept disturbances to a minimum. They went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, and to guide pedestrians across the street and around the work disruptions.”
Main photo: Almost done! Only a few cones remain as Wilson St, and the entrance to Achievement House, is transformed.
Neil Fynn said he also wanted to thank the Achievement House team and their visitors for their understanding and cooperation during the upgrade.
