We’re upgrading the intersection of Donnybrook Road and Mitchell Street to reduce travel times, improve safety and cater for population growth and increased vehicle movements.
The upgrade will:
- replace the existing roundabout with traffic lights
- build a new bridge over Kalkallo Creek
- add extra lanes at the intersection
- install safety barriers.
Planning update
Planning work is progressing as the upgrade moves towards construction. Key activities will include:
- detailed traffic analysis and modelling, to better understand the future growth of the area and the demand this will place on the road network
- on-site investigations to test ground conditions
- environmental investigations to understand flora, fauna and tree species
- investigations to map utility services above and below the ground
- developing a detailed project design for construction.
Construction timelines will be known once our planning has progressed further.
Technical investigations
To help inform our planning, we’ll complete roadside technical investigations. At times, we may need to implement traffic control measures, including temporary lane closures, stop/slow traffic and reduced speeds. We’ll keep traffic disruption to a minimum and avoid busy periods.
