About the project
Marion Road and Sir Donald Bradman Drive are major commuter, freight and public transport routes with around 60,000 vehicles crossing the intersection daily. The intersection becomes very congested with long queues especially during peak times.
With increasing demand, the current intersection will not cater for future road user demands.
Works on this project are underway, aiming for completion in early 2026.

To make your journey safer and more reliable, this upgrade will include:
increased through-lanes on Sir Donald Bradman Drive heading west and new dedicated turning lanes on Sir Donald Bradman Drive in both directions
