Old Belair Rd roadworks sign a mistake Old Belair road closure sign. Picture: Felicity McNish Source: adelaidenow A SIGN warning motorists a major hills road would be closed for a month has been mistakenly placed. An electrified sign telling commuters Old Belair Rd would be closed between Monday, April 15, and Wednesday, May 15, 9am-4pm, was put up too early by Mitcham Council yesterday. Concerned Craigburn Farm resident Felicity McNish was among motorists who saw the sign at the top of Old Belair yesterday. "When I saw it I was quite shocked that they would run a whole month or road works when we it's right in the middle of no trains," Mrs McNish said. She was suprised the sign was put up by accident. "I just find it very bizarre," Mrs McNish said. I'm relieved I suppose but it's obviously going to happen at some stage but hopefully they're going to take in to consideration the issues with the trains and will put it on hold until traffic's back to normal in Blackwood. A Mitcham Council spokeswoman said the sign had been put up too early. "Council has confirmed that works planned for Old Belair Rd have been postponed and a meeting is being scheduled with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure," the spokeswoman said.
