The construction of the northern connection of the Parkes Bypass will begin on Friday.

Transport for NSW is advising motorists that there will be changed traffic conditions just north on the Newell Highway in Parkes from Friday, November 29.

Traffic on the highway, north of Bogan Road, will be switched onto a short section of the new highway, under stop/slow conditions.

Work hours will be 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays, and the road will reopen to two-way traffic at night.

The works are expected to take three days, weather permitting, Transport for NSW says.
