Given the high percentage of heavy vehicles using Sheffield Road, the shoulder will be widened from 0.5 metres to 1 metre, with 3-metre-wide lanes in each direction.
Basic right turn upgrades, which allow straight-ahead vehicles to negotiate past vehicles waiting to turn right into the side road, are to be provided at:
- Fairview Court
- Scott’s Court
- Winifred Avenue
- James Road
- Melrose Road / Gillam’s Road
- Lower Barrington Road
- Allison’s Road
- Morey’s Road
- Weeks Road
- Dalwood Road
- Barrington Road (south)
- Hamptons Road / Hughes Road
This project is currently in the design phase. The first section between Coles Road and Reeves Road is planned for construction to start in 2024, subject to funding.
Site investigation works are still carried out on a regular basis which will help inform the final design of the project.
During investigations, we will be working Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm.
