The Monaro Highway is being upgraded to deliver improved safety, freight efficiency and faster and smoother travel for Tuggeranong, the Woden Valley and southern NSW.
There will be an off-peak weekend closure of Monaro Highway (southbound only) between Hindmarsh Drive and Lanyon Drive required. The closure is scheduled from 7pm, Friday 28 November to 5am, Monday 1 December 2025, weather dependent.
The closure was initially scheduled for this weekend, but has been postponed due to forecast wet weather.
The closure is in place to allow reconstruction of pavement along sections of the Monaro Highway's southbound carriageway (within the project area).
During the closure the following detours will be in place:
- Travelling west on Hindmarsh Drive, left on to Mugga Lane and continue onto Monaro Highway.
- Travelling east on Hindmarsh Drive, right onto Canberra Avenue right onto Lanyon Drive and continue onto Monaro Highway. NB: Heavy vehicles will be diverted to this detour.
- Travelling west along Canberra Avenue, left onto Sturt Avenue and Jerrabomberra Ave, right onto Hindmarsh Drive.
Traffic management will be in place during the closure to allow access for emergency services vehicles and access to the Alexander Maconochie Centre and ACT Government facilities along David Warren Road.
This closure improves the safety of both road users and project workers whilst works are undertaken.
Road users are reminded to follow all signage and directions from traffic controllers, and to be aware that reduced speed limits apply throughout the project site.
