Works are on, businesses are open!
We’re building rail bridges over Maddox Road and closing Champion Road at the rail line.
To keep locals moving, we’re extending Akuna Drive to connect Champion Road to Maddox Road. The new road will open before Champion Road is closed in 2026. We’ll also build a new pedestrian and cycling bridge over the rail line at Champion Road.
During our works businesses remain open, we encourage you to continue to support and choose local.
