The aim of the project is to provide safer pedestrian access to the local shopping village on Soldiers Point Rd Salamander Bay. Recent developments of aged care in the area, combined with increased traffic movements have resulted in demand for safer pedestrian access.

The project includes:

• Construction of a raised pedestrian crossing on Soldiers Point Rd
• Pedestrian refuge upgrade in Diemars Rd at the roundabout of Soldiers Point Rd
• Extension of the existing High Pedestrian Activity Area (HPAA) north along Soldiers Point Rd

Construction details:

Detours, nightwork and road closures will be in place for the safety of road users and workers to allow the project to be undertaken. Please follow direction from traffic control onsite.
