Funded by the Federal government through Transport for NSW, MidCoast Council has awarded the contract to Ditchfield Contracting, which is yet to confirm a start date,

"We are experiencing a supply chain issue with the concrete pipes required for this project, so once the contractor secures supply, we'll be able to advise of a start date for the works," MidCoast Council projects and engineering manager, Rhett Pattison said.

Plans for the three-leg roundabout will include service adjustments, some changes to nearby property access, kerb and guttering, road and drainage works as well as bus bays and footpaths.

With works expected to take around eight months to complete, there will be significant periods of traffic control during the construction.

The community will be updated as the project progresses and should watch out for signage in the area, Mr Pattison said.

"We will provide further updates closer to the commencement of works, however motorists can expect delays and should allow additional travel time and are encouraged to seek alternate routes where practical."

The car park, accessed from Blackhead Road and located adjacent to the intersection, will be closed for the duration of the project.

Bus stop locations will also be shifted outside of the project area.
