John Rice Avenue and Haydown Road junction upgrade

We are upgrading the junction of John Rice Avenue and Haydown Road in Elizabeth Vale. This forms part of the State Government's election commitments, to upgrade, or investigate potential upgrades, in the northern suburbs to improve safety, access and make travel easier for all users.

Following an initial consultation, we have developed a concept design for the John Rice Avenue and Haydown Road Junction Upgrade.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback last year. Local insights outlined there are opportunities to improve congestion and travel times, as well as motorist safety. This feedback, along with input from key stakeholders and technical data, has been used to help inform the development of the concept design.

Proposed treatments

installation of traffic signals at the junction of John Rice Avenue and Haydown Road; and
widening of John Rice Avenue to provide dedicated right turn into Haydown Road.

To achieve these critical upgrades, tree and vegetation removal will be required. Removal of impacted vegetation will be carefully supervised by an arborist. We will work with interested parties and local council regarding offset and re-vegetation opportunities as the project progresses.

Community engagement
