Raglan Avenue, Edward Street and South Road network upgrade
About the project
A new link road will be constructed as part of the Raglan Avenue, Edward Street and South Road network upgrade to help remove the current dog-leg movement of traffic travelling between Edward Street and Raglan Avenue and improve safety for road users.

Latest News
Last year we sought feedback from the community on the proposed design for the Raglan Avenue, Edward Street and South Road network upgrade.
This update provides a summary of what we hard during this engagement process. it also outlines the next steps.
Overall, the construction of a link road and upgraded four-way intersection at Edward Street and South Road was supported by the community as the best way to reduce congestion and improve safety and local access for all users. Feedback has been used to help further enhance the design.
Final updated design
Following community feedback and further technical planning, enhancements have been made to the design. The key updates include:
- The positioning of the roundabout has been designed to safely accommodate the forecasted traffic volumes eastbound on Raglan Avenue.
- The dedicated left turn lane onto South Road will be extended to provide more capacity for city bound vehicles.
- Bus stop 15 (north and south) will also be indented.
- A pedestrian wombat crossing, east of the new roundabout on Raglan Avenue, will be installed to improve pedestrian safety and access to the relocated bus stop 15.
- Landscaping will be incorporated within the project area.
Over the coming months the project team will complete further technical investigations and planning.
