Overview

We built the Plenty Road Upgrade in 2 stages:

• Stage 1: McKimmies Road to Bush Boulevard - completed mid-2019
• Stage 2: Bush Boulevard to Bridge Inn Road - major works completed mid-2021.

The $178.6 million upgrade will help get you home safer and sooner.

Stage 1

Works started in March 2018 and were completed in mid-2019.

During Stage 1 of the upgrade, we:

• added a new lane in each direction between McKimmies Road and Bush Boulevard
• upgraded 5 intersections, including Childs Road and Centenary Drive
• installed traffic lights at Rivergum and Mayfield Drives
• widened the existing footpath and create a new shared walking and cycling path
• built on-road cyclist lanes
• installed 10,000 metres of safety barriers.

Stage 2

We’ve added a lane in each direction and upgraded 12 intersections between Bush Boulevard and Bridge Inn Road. Major works were completed mid-2021.
