Fraser Coast residents will be able to use the roundabout at the intersection of Main Street, Chapel Road and Maggs Hill Road for the next couple of weeks.
Councillor Denis Chapman said most of the road work part of the project has finished and will be open to traffic until early February.
âIt will then be closed for two days for the asphalt surface to be laid,â he said.
âAt this stage we anticipate the asphalt surfacing works will be undertaken on February 5 and 6, weather permitting.
âAfter that there will be some minor disruptions for the line marking and to finish the landscaping.â
Premium Content WORK is rapidly progressing at the site of a new roundabout at Nikenbah.
