Gundaroo Drive duplication

Upgrades to Gundaroo Drive will double the number of lanes in both directions. This will improve travel times and safety.

This three-phase upgrade is between Ginninderra Drive and the Barton Highway.

Key features of the project include:

• 2 lanes in each direction between Ginninderra Drive and the Barton Highway
• 6.4 kilometres of new on-road cycle lanes
• new intersections with traffic lights at Dumas Street and Owen Dixon Drive
• reduced speed limit between Ginninderra Drive and the Barton Highway
• upgraded, wider underpasses with new lighting and connecting paths
• upgraded bus stops plus new bus stops.

Funding for this project is provided by the ACT and Australian Governments. It is part of the Commonwealth's Investment Road and Rail Program.
