Council is upgrading the intersection of Sparkes Road, Ellis Street and Francis Road, Lawnton to accommodate traffic growth and improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
The upgrade project will replace the existing roundabout with a signal-controlled intersection and includes:
- installation of traffic signals
- additional traffic lanes to separate through-traffic and turning traffic
- addition of cycle lanes at the intersection
- signalised pedestrian crossings at the intersection
- landscaping and street lighting improvements
- road pavement reconstruction.
