Major Repairs Begin On Broken Sewer Main At Hamilton

 BY IAN CROUCH

The westbound lanes of Donald Street at Hamilton will be closed between Lawson and Beaumont Street for up to 10 days from 7.00am today (Wednesday 13 November, 2024) as major repairs get under way on a broken sewer line.

Hunter Water says a section of sewer main has collapsed under the road, with essential repairs involving the deep excavation of a 25 metre long pit to reach the damaged section

Crews will work around the clock for about 10 days, weather permitting, to remove and replace the sewer main.

Traffic diversions will be in place for light vehicles via Lawson and Cleary Streets, and Beaumont and Samdon Streets.
