R&D Hours of Operation Update: Normal Late Season Hours Commencing and Easter Weekend Hours

We are encouraged to see the region’s road network coming back to normal over the last few weeks and congestion issues continue to decrease. This work is still ongoing across the region, however, based on customer feedback we will be reverting to our normal late season hours from Monday 3 April.
