The Facilities Management (FM) Science Road / Erskine Carpark safety improvements and upgrades are progressing on schedule.

Current Works

• A significant portion of the carpark will reopen for public use on Monday 15 December. Line-marking will be completed in the new year.
• Science Road will return to usual 2-way traffic Monday 15 December.

Pedestrian Access

• The existing 11-year-old temporary pedestrian walkway will be closed until the new shared pedestrian/cycle path is completed in the new year.
