Roads—Ginninderra Drive
(Question No 1643)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 17 August 2018 (redirected to the Minister for Roads):

(1) Are there any plans to construct a bypass lane for Ginninderra Drive, extending from Flynn to Charnwood as a means to reduce traffic congestion and improve road safety at this intersection; if so, what is the current progress of this plan and what is the estimated timeframe for its completion, if not; why not and will the Government consider a bypass lane for Ginninderra Drive as a future upgrade.

(2) Has the Government considered the possibility of constructing a bypass lane at this location in the past; if so, what were the results of this consideration.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Due to current usage levels, there is no immediate plan to undertake the duplication of Ginninderra Drive from Florey Drive to its termination west of Archdall Street. The duplication of this section of Ginninderra Drive will be reviewed with the timing of delivery of the Ginninderry Development.

(2) Duplication for this section of Ginninderra Drive has not been considered in the past due to existing traffic volumes not warranting an upgrade. Signalisation of Ginninderra Drive and Tillyard Drive and Tillyard Drive and Lhotsky Street is planned and was funded as part of the 2018-19 Capital Works program. The signalisation will improve safety and network operation.
