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.
Hilltops Council advises that its contractor, Delaney Civil, will extend the current work site along Lynch Street to the other side of the Boorowa Street roundabout. Road closures will be implemented as follows:
- From Wednesday, 8 April 2026, Lynch Street will be temporarily closed between Boorowa Street and Lighting Lane (laneway unaffected).
- From Monday, 13 April 2026, Lynch Street will be temporarily closed between Boorowa Street and Lovell Street. Lighting Lane will be closed at Lynch Street.
Boorowa Street will remain unaffected but there will be no vehicle access onto Lynch Street from the Boorowa Street roundabout.
Cloete Street roundabout will remain closed until the reinstatement works are complete, which is expected to be within three weeks (weather permitting). Parking will remain available along Cloete Street up to the road closure point.
Pedestrian access to all businesses shall be maintained. However, the public is encouraged to use alternative routes and parking locations during this period.
The traffic control plans on the following pages outline how temporary measures will be implemented.
Please adhere to all applicable road rules and follow all installed signage.
As the work continues to progress, the completed sections of Lynch Street will reopen. A temporary road seal may also be installed until final roadworks are completed at a later stage.
Council appreciates your cooperation and patience during these important works.
