Roads supporting the future school in Kenny


Project description

Road infrastructure upgrades have been completed to support Canberra’s newest public high school in the East Gungahlin suburb of Kenny, Shirley Smith High School.

This includes:

  • construction of Rhodanthe Way as the southern leg of the Albatross Crescent (west) intersection, including a roundabout at the southern end to provide direct access to the school
  • signalisation of the Well Station Drive/Albatross Crescent (west) intersection
  • signalisation of the Well Station Drive/Kings Canyon Street intersection
  • a shared-use path along Well Station Drive from Flemington Road to the proposed school entrance
  • two bus bays along the Albatross Crescent (west) extension to service the school
  • relocation and reconstruction of existing bus stops along Well Station Drive near the Albatross Crescent (west) intersection
  • other necessary upgrades to infrastructure triggered by these works, which include noise walls in the northern verge of Well Station Drive.

Construction

Construction commenced in January 2022 with major works completed in December 2022. The final stage of works was connection of the new watermain which happened in August 2023.
