THE Kings Road intersection and Steve Irwin Way (SIW) shopping complex car park have both been completed in recent weeks as part of the $38 million SIW safety improvements project.
Works started on July 22 to construct a service road and create 17 formalised parking spaces in front of shops such as Glasshouse Grind and Everything Good, and were completed late August. “The community and proprietors are already seeing the benefits of the upgraded parking facilities,” a Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said.
Kings Road was completely closed from early June, to upgrade and replace major drainage infrastructure and complete preliminary works for road and shoulder widening at this location.
The spokesperson added the road was reopened in late August to its original configuration. “Works such as asphalt resurfacing, linemarking, kerb and channel, and signage installation are still underway.”
