Project: Lanyon Tompsitt Intersection Upgrade
Location:
Client: RMS, QPRC
Start: 2018
End: 2019
Value: $12 million
The Australian and NSW Governments have jointly announced $12 million towards improving road safety and traffic efficiency at this intersection. Major work has started and is expected to be completed by the end 2019, weather permitting.
Project background
The intersection of Tompsitt Drive and Lanyon Drive in Jerrabomberra is located on one of the major access routes into the Australian Capital Territory.
This intersection features a roundabout with dual lanes on each approach and a left slip lane on the west bound approach. The intersection is currently performing poorly with motorists experiencing traffic delays and queuing, particularly during peak times.
To determine the most effective design for the improvements Roads and Maritime Services has been carrying out investigations including collection of traffic counts, ground and utility surveys, geotechnical investigations and detailed traffic modelling with consideration of expected growth in and around the area.
Benefits
– Reduce the significant queuing being experienced by motorists during peak times
– Reduce traffic delays for motorists travelling through the intersection during peak times
– Improved road safety for all vehicles
– Improved amenity for pedestrians and cyclists
– Provides for future traffic growth.
