The project includes road pavement renewal, drainage improvements, bus stop pad maintenance, and intersection upgrades at Barton Street, Murray Street and Sooning Street. These improvements will help enhance safety, accessibility and connectivity for residents, visitors, and local businesses.

 Works are planned to start in late-November 2026 and are expected to take three (3) weeks to complete, weather permitting.
