🥳🎉 Another stage completed! 🎉🥳

The Pope and Gray team have had the sleeves rolled up on this one, with our crews recently completing the water renewal works as part of this large-scale project. 💧🚧

We’re now gearing up to kick off Stage 3 in the coming days, so keep an eye out for our trucks and crews out and about!

Another great job by the team! 💪

🚗✅ Great news - Stage 2 of the Queen Street Water Main upgrade road closure has re-opened ahead of schedule! 🚗✅

🛣 We know that this section of road hasn't been resealed as of yet and looks a bit patchy. Don't worry, the plan is to reseal this section of road when stage 3 is being resealed a bit later this year.

⛔ The Jackson Street intersection is still closed for a few more weeks whilst the team finish off work in this area.

⚠️ Stage 3 of the water main upgrade will kick off on Monday next week.
