Overview

The South Road Upgrade has improved 5 intersections between Nepean Highway and Warrigal Road to reduce bottlenecks, improve traffic flow and make South Road safer for all road users.

The project has:

• built an extra citybound right-turn lane from South Road to improve access to Nepean Highway
• modified the Taylor Street and Jasper Road intersection to improve traffic flow on South Road and pedestrian safety
• installed a new signalised pedestrian crossing at Tucker Road to improve pedestrian access
• built an extra right-turn lane from South Road to East Boundary Road to create more capacity and realign the left turn slip lanes to improve safety
• installed new traffic lights and a signalised pedestrian crossing at Bignell Road to improve safety.

As part of the project, we’ve also upgraded the existing off-road bike path along the Nepean Highway between South Road and Cummins Road.

Works started on the project in November 2021 and were completed in October 2022.
