John Rice Avenue and Haydown Road junction upgrade

We are upgrading the junction of John Rice Avenue and Haydown Road in Elizabeth Vale. This forms part of the State Government's election commitments, to upgrade, or investigate potential upgrades, in the northern suburbs to improve safety, access and make travel easier for all users. This upgrade will also help support growth in the Lyell McEwin health precinct.

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback about this project. Local insights gathered throughout this process, along with input from key stakeholders and technical data, has been used to help inform the development of the final design. This final design for the upgrade is now available below and in the latest project update.

The final design includes:

Installation of traffic lights at the junction to improve safety for all road users
A new dedicated right turn lane onto Haydown Road to improve traffic flow
New and upgraded LED lighting to improve safety
New kerb and gutter
New and upgraded road surface and new line marking
Retention of the existing pedestrian actuated (push-button) crossing east of the junction on John Rice Avenue
