The intersection of South Street with Carnarvon Road as it appeared in March 2014 on Google Maps. South Street is being extended to meet up with Schofields Road.
Work on South Street and its Schofields Road extension is about to ramp up on Saturdays.
The RMS has advised that work on the $340m upgrade of the road will now be extended to 7am-5pm on Saturdays, between Richmond Road and Veron Road, starting this Saturday, August 26.
Work involves completing the eastbound carriageway and starting work to build the new westbound lanes on South Street between Richmond Road and Veron Road, including the westbound bridges across Bells Creek and Eastern Creek.
Traffic control and lane closures will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists.
