Objectives
This is a long term solution, which addresses road safety, improves accessibility and allows for future growth in the area.
The project will:
- improve road safety for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists by incorporating signalised pedestrian crossings at popular crossing points, and inclusion of footpaths
- improve accessibility to and from both sides of the Highway by creating 2 new intersections which facilitate safe signalised access in all directions
- support future planning and growth by ensuring that future roads and developments can easily connect to the road network.
Features of the final design
Features include:
- 2 new signalised intersections on the Stuart Highway providing direct access to and from the shopping precincts situated on the northern and southern sides
- extension of service roads on both sides of the Stuart Highway
- extension of existing road behind Coolalinga Central to the new signalised intersection
- extension of Henning Road through to Virginia Road
- new road link between the Stuart Highway and Henning Road
- reduced posted speed limit to 60km/h on the Stuart Highway through this precinct.
Design and construction timelines
- Detailed design is underway and expected to be finished by the end of 2024.
