DARLING Street betweenWingewarra and Church streetwill be closed for two weeks from Monday for the construction of a new water main.

Dubbo City Council Manager Works Services Ian Bailey said a new 150mm diameter water main will be constructed to upgrade the existing smaller 100mm-diameter main to meet the increasing demand from surrounding residents and businesses.

"Throughout this time, work along the eastern side of Darling Street to renew aged infrastructure as part of stage three will continue, leaving the northbound lane of Darling Street open between Church Street and Talbragar Street," Mr Bailey said.

"The footpath will still be open. All of the businesses you'll still be able to get to, it'll just be a little bit longer to walk."

Mr Bailey said vehicular access to Darling Street businesses, the DRTCC and the Civic Administration building, will be available for residents via Brisbane and Church Street before proceeding northbound down Darling Street.

Construction will halt on Saturday, October 25, for the DREAM Festival's Twilight Markets and Lantern Parade and parking for the event will be available on the northern end of Darling Street, in the council car parks beside the Civic Administration Building and on the corner of Darling and Talbragar Streets.

"It is expected both lanes of Darling Street between Wingewarra and Church Street will be closed until Monday, November 3, at which point a northbound lane will be reopened with the southbound lane to remain closed until December this year," Mr Bailey said.
