Road closures and nightwork update - Picton Road access via Almond Street, East Wilton
Since our last update, the timing of our work to construct new drinking water and recycled water pipelines along Almond Street and Argyle Street in East Wilton has changed. This is due to permit requirements we have now received from Transport for NSW.
As Almond Street is accessed from Picton Road (as a major arterial road), we are restricted to specific times when we can work in the roadway. Due to these restrictions and safety requirements, we need to complete this work at night.

Road closures and 24 hour work, (including night work), is planned to be completed in two areas of
East Wilton between Thursday, 19 March and Monday, 23 March 2026 - weather and ground conditions permitting.
We will be working 24 hours in both areas during this time, to complete the work as quickly as possible. Working at night ensures our team can work safely when roads are less busy, and limits disruption to local residents and motorists.
- Area 1: Almond Street – road closure between Picton Road and Fitzroy Street
Continuous day and night work from 5pm Friday 20 March to 5am Monday 23 March 2026.
- Area 2: Argyle Street – road closure between Almond Street and Camden Street
Continuous day and night work from 7am Thursday 19 March to 6pm Monday 23 March 2026.
Please make necessary arrangements to prepare and allow for extra travel time, as there will be no access to or from Picton Road via Almond Street during the work. Access to and from East Wilton will remain available from Picton Road via Pembroke Parade and MacArthur Drive.
We want to reassure the community that emergency services will continue to have full access throughout the road closure. Emergency vehicles will be able to enter the area at any time, and traffic controllers will be on site to assist if needed.
