Summer Street rail crossing closed for three days
Monday April 30, 2018.
The Summer Street rail crossing will be closed from Friday May 4 at 5pm, to Monday May 7 at 9am.
Transport for New South Wales is working on the level crossing as part of the NSW Government’s rail infrastructure program across the Country Regional Network.
The work will involve installing a new concrete surface on the Summer Street level crossing to improve the crossing for road and rail traffic.
Summer Street will be closed between William Street and Endsleigh Avenue to the east, and Peisley Street to the west, with traffic diverted to the Byng Street crossing.
It's expected Byng Street will be heavily congested during this time and motorists should factor in delays in their travel time.
Motorists can avoid Byng Street if possible by crossing the railway track at Dalton Street, Franklin Road, or take the Northern Distributor Road.
All heavily vehicles should take the Northern Distributor Road regardless.
Pedestrians should use the overhead bridge at Peisley Street or cross at Byng Street.

Pedestrian access to businesses in the area will be maintained, including the Victoria Hotel.Work on the rail track will continue until May 10 but Summer Street will be unaffected other than during the full closure from May 4 to May 7.
UPGRADE: The rail crossing will be closed for about three days this weekend.
