MORE delays are plaguing the troubled Pyramid Hill streetscape project.
A revised completion date was to have seen the $1.9 million project within months but Loddon Shire says the end date is likely to be September.
Work had been at a standstill in recent weeks. Council said the contractor had suffered an injury unrelated to the project.
“This has required treatment and a recovery period. The contractor is okay and has resumed work on site,” said operations director Steve Phillips. Mr Phillips said the completion date was now September but no additional funds would be needed for the work.
Streetscape works include Kelly Park and Lions Park and a pedestrian crossing linking the two parks.
The $1.9 million project has been plagued by delays, including contractors finding decommissioned stormwater pipes and water supply mains. Work was originally scheduled to be completed last May.
