A major overhaul of the Deakin Avenue and Twentieth Street intersection is set to improve driver safety, reducing the risk of fatal collisions and injuries at the site.
Works to upgrade the intersection, identified as a Blackspot, will include a Vehicle Activated Warning System, splitter-island, pavement reconstruction and widening, drainage works, lighting, additional road signage and line-marking.
The $1.226 million project is fully funded through the Federal Government’s Black Spot Program and will be delivered by B&S Earthworks.
Works are due to start today (April 29th), with traffic controls and road closures in place throughout the project.
Works are expected to be completed by mid-2024.
