It is suggested drivers keep travel on affected roads to essential travel only on January 2 between 11.30am and 5pm, and 9pm and 11pm.
Expect major delays around the hotspots, especially Hewletts Rd and Sandhurst interchange with both the Bay Dreams traffic and the existing temporary traffic management already in place for the Bayfair to Baypark flyover project.
