Project description

Complete: Streeton Drive intersection improvements.

The ACT Government is committed to improving the safety of intersections. In 2024, improvements were made to enhance the safety of commuters using the intersections of Namatjira Drive and Heysen Street with Streeton Drive. Accidents and congestion were identified as 2 key issues at these intersections.

More than 20,000 vehicles use the road corridor each day between Weston Creek, Tuggeranong and Woden. Heysen Street and Namatjira Drive funnel high volumes of residential and commercial traffic to Streeton Drive, resulting in both intersections becoming increasingly busy.

This project was jointly funded between the ACT and Australian Governments under the Commonwealth’s Infrastructure Investment Program.

Key features

Traffic lights were installed at both intersections to improve the safety of road users and establish a smooth flow of vehicles and lower the risk of accidents. This included signalised pedestrian crossings.
Upgrades to the existing road medians.
Resurfacing of both intersections with new line marking.
Upgrades to footpaths and kerb ramps, linking the intersections to the surrounding path network.
Reinstatement of dryland grassing at both intersections.
