Wynn Vale Drive and Bridge Road Junction Upgrade
We are upgrading the intersection of Wynn Vale Drive and Bridge Road in Gulfview Heights. 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.
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback about this project. Local insights gathered throughout this process supported a need to improve road safety, congestion and travel times, as well as pedestrian safety at the junction. This feedback, 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.
Latest News
To achieve these critical upgrades and facilitate the widening of Bridge Road, we are undertaking tree and vegetation removal works on Bridge Road. These works will be undertaken from Monday 9 December 2024 to Thursday 12 December 2024.
Vegetation management
We understand that trees are highly valued by the community. While every effort has been made to retain trees and vegetation, removals will be required for this project. For more information, please see our vegetation management fact sheet.
Temporary Bus Stop Relocation
Bus stop 43C Bridge Road on the east side will be temporary relocated. Refer to the temporary bus relocation map on our latest works notice for more details.
Concept Design
The final design includes:
- Installing traffic signals at the junction (including signalised pedestrian crossings and new CCTV)
- Indenting Stop 43C Bridge Rd - West and East
- Introducing a dedicated right turn lane from Bridge Road into Melville Road
- New and upgraded footpaths, line marking, kerb and gutters and road surface.
Right turn movements into and out of Christine Avenue will now also be retained. ‘Keep Clear’ markings will be installed at the junction.
Construction Timing
Tree and vegetation removal will be undertaken in December 2024, with major construction commencing in 2025. Overall completion expected in mid-2025. Advance notice will be provided before major works commence.
