The Territory Labor Government is continuing to improve road safety through infrastructure upgrades.
Budget 2021 has over $220 million allocated towards road safety measures across the Territory, and the NT Government is now seeking public comment to deliver safety upgrades to the Chung Wah Terrace and Emery Avenue intersection.
There has been a number of traffic incidents and injuries at this intersection. Traffic crash data highlighted right hand turns at this intersection from Emery Avenue as a contributing factor in the majority of crashes.
The Department conducted an engineering analysis, which recommends a roundabout as the best solution to improve road safety within this intersection, while maintaining traffic flow.
The project seeks to understand the community's view and support for the proposed works. Stakeholders including Palmerston residents, businesses and motorists, pedestrians and cyclists who use the Emery Avenue and Chung Wah Terrace intersection are invited to provide their feedback about this proposal.
The Government is improving the road network for Territorians. Other recently completed road infrastructure projects delivered in Palmerston include:
- Improving the access to Marlow Lagoon recreational area at Elrundie Avenue;
- Upgrading the intersection of Driver Avenue and Elrundie Avenue; and
- Upgrading the road geometry and traffic signal operations at the intersection of Tulagi Road and Stuart Highway.
Feedback on the proposed works is open four weeks from Monday 30 August 2021.
