CONSTRUCTION has begun on a $11.6 million upgrade to the intersection at Steve Irwin Way and Caloundra Street in Landsborough.
Key features of the project include:
- A new signalised intersection
- Added space for turning vehicles
- Lighting upgrades
- A new signalised pedestrian crossing across two legs
The aim of this project is to improve motorists’ safety and was jointly funded by the state ($7.75m) and federal governments ($3.85m).
This upgrade will also improve network efficiency, increase traffic flow, reduce travel time, and enhance active transport.
Transport and Main Roads have set up an office on Steve Irwin Road, Beerwah, for employees working on the upgraded intersection. A completion date for the road works has not been revealed.
