The Philip Street - Gladstone project involves widening of approximately 900 metres of Philip Street (also known as Gladstone-Benaraby Road) from two lanes to a four lane divided roadway. The project will also include:
- required transport infrastructure and access to the Gladstone Region Integrated Community Services Precinct;
- installation of east and westbound on-road bicycle and off-road pedestrian facilities;
- pavement drainage upgrades;
- new signalised intersection at the Philip Street and Reef Street intersection;
- improved street lighting; and
- acceleration lanes at Trinity Place and Hibiscus Avenue.
The improvements are designed to enhance community connectivity, and address congestion and safety issues along Philip Street, Gladstone.
This project will provide necessary connections to realise the benefits of the Australian Government-funded Integrated Health Services Precinct - Stage 1 Philip Street Community project, which will assist in combining community and commercial facilities for the benefit of residents.
The Australian Government has fully committed up to $22.4 million towards the project.
This project commenced construction in May 2020 and was completed in August 2021.
