Booral Road and Boundary Road (Urangan), intersection upgrade
Detailed design is underway for a proposed upgrade of the Booral Road and Boundary Road intersection at Urangan.
Safety and capacity at the Booral Road and Boundary Road intersection will be improved through:
- replacing the existing T-intersection with a single-lane, 3-leg roundabout
- realigning the Booral Road and Walkers Road intersection to the south with left in, left-out only movements
- installing concrete medians on the approaches to the roundabout
- installing pedestrian crossings on the approaches to the roundabout
- installing an off-road shared bike and pedestrian path on Booral Road and Boundary Road to connect with road crossings at the intersection.
Benefits
- Improves safety
- Improves network efficiency
- Increases traffic flow
- Reduces peak hour congestion
- Reduces travel time
- Contributes to economy
