Green light for new intersection

The lights are now switched on at the upgraded Albert Street intersection at Bethania.

Improvements to the intersection of Albert Street, Station Road and Church Road included traffic lights, additional turning lanes, sections of on-road cycleways, road resurfacing and line marking, lighting, signage and landscaping.

The $2.6 million project was funded by Council’s Major Roads Program and the Australian Government’s Roads to Recovery and Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

‘It’s a busy intersection that motorists will now be able to navigate safely,’ Councillor Hall says.

‘Previously, local residents described getting through the intersection as a standoff, with some drivers unsure of who to give way to.

‘This new configuration clears up any doubt and makes it a lot safer.’
