(Young Trunk Drainage Upgrade Project)
The Young Trunk Drainage Upgrade project (to improve the drainage system within the town centre of Young and assist in preventing flooding during large storms) continues to progress well.
Council’s contractor, Delaney Civil, will be implementing temporary road closures from Monday 11 May 2026 so that construction work can continue safely.
From Monday 11 May 2026, a section of Lynch Street will be closed near Service NSW.
The Young Train Station carpark (Visitor Information Centre) shall only be accessible via Main Street. Additional parking restrictions shall also be implemented within the carpark to assist buses and caravans. Service NSW will remain accessible for pedestrians via the Young Train Station carpark and Lovell Street.
From Monday 18 May 2026, Lovell Street will be closed at the intersection of Lynch Street and Lovell Street.
As this is part of the route for heavy vehicles travelling to and from Temora, heavy vehicle detour signs shall be installed to divert heavy vehicles around the road closure. For heavy vehicles travelling to Temora, the detour will be via Zouch Street, Cloete Street, Olympic Highway, Dundas Street and Thornhill Street, and in reverse for heavy vehicles coming from Temora heading to Boorowa, Cowra, or Grenfell. Light vehicles are to use Boorowa Street or alternate routes to avoid the road closure.
The Young Train Station carpark will remain accessible via Main Street only. Service NSW will remain accessible to pedestrians via Lovell Street, with access from the Young Train Station carpark available, although there may be brief periods of closure.
Pedestrian access to all businesses shall be maintained, therefore please use alternate routes and parking locations during this period. Parking will be available along Lovell Street up to the road closure point.
The traffic control plans on the following pages outlines how temporary measures will be implemented.
Please adhere to all applicable road rules and follow all installed signage.
Council appreciates your cooperation and patience during these important works.
