We're improving safety at the roundabout connecting New Street, St Andrews Street, Park Street and Well Street in Brighton.
The 5 new raised pedestrian-priority wombat crossings are located at the busy intersection located near schools, Cabrini Hospital and situated between Brighton Beach and the Church Street activity centre.
The project is commencing late March and will take up to 3-months, weather permitting. Works are scheduled during regular construction hours, Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm.
Crossings are being installed one road at a time to minimise the impact on traffic and pedestrians. Road closures are necessary to complete works. Traffic management and area detours are anticipated throughout works.
The new road treatments support Bayside's Walking Action Plan (2024-2028), and aligns with Theme 3, Priority 3.4 of the Bayside 2050 Community Vision, and Goals 2 and 3 of the Council Plan. The project is also included in Bayside's Footpaths and Cycleways capital works budget allocation and supported by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
