Project DescriptionThis project involved the investigation into both short-term and long-term options to address congestion on Richmond Bridge and its approach roads and two intersection improvements on the approaches to Richmond Bridge:
- Bells Line of Road/Grose Vale Road/Terrace Road
- Kurrajong Road/Old Kurrajong Road/Yarramundi Lane
BenefitsThe study informed short-term and long-term options to resolve congestion issues and improve traffic flow in the area.
The intersection upgrades improved the major east-west movement of traffic on Bells Line of Road and Kurrajong Road for the short to medium term. FundingThe Australian Government contribution is capped at $20 million. TimetableThe study was carried out in two stages. Stage 1 investigations into options for short-term improvements were undertaken by Hyder Consulting and Stage 2 investigations into options for longer-term improvements were undertaken by SMEC. The final report, which includes a recommendation to reserve a road corridor for a future upgrade of Richmond Bridge, was released to the public on 31 July 2013.
Construction of the intersection improvements commenced in early 2015 and was completed in mid-2019. |
