The Queensland Government has announced the successful contractor to deliver stage three of the $104 million Southport-Burleigh Road Upgrade,
Main Roads and Road Safety Minister Mark Bailey announced this week that Georgiou Group Pty Ltd will deliver the works package, which includes a new continuous flow intersection.
“The Australian-first continuous flow intersection will be built at the Salerno Street, Bundall Road and Ashmore Road intersection to tackle congestion,” Mr. Bailey said in a statement.
“A new right-hand turn into Salerno Street will be included in the works for an additional route into Surfers Paradise.
“This intersection, in addition to road widening and bridges which include an additional lane in both directions, will increase capacity, ensuring the intersection flows more freely,” he added.
Works are expected to begin soon, weather and construction conditions permitting.
The upgrades form part of the Gold Coast’s $160 million major road network improvements in the lead-up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
“Works are progressing on the first (North Street to Vespa Crescent in Southport) and second (Fremar Street to Monaco Street overpass) stages,” Mr. Bailey said.
“The first stage is due to be completed by mid-2017 and the second stage by October 2016, weather and construction conditions permitting,” said Mr. Bailey.
“This follows the first major upgrade completed as part of the road package – the new signalised intersection connecting Ross Street, Currumburra and Ashmore roads.”
