Challenge

A dangerous road environment - the intersection of Coatesville Riverhead Highway and Dairy Flat Highway (formerly State Highway 17) is an accident black spot, high speed and tightly constrained. This project aims to completely reshape this high risk space. The challenge is to do so whilst maintaining full existing function during construction - and ensure safety of road users and road workers in the process.

Solution

The utilisation of a high-containment steel barrier system is the first step to maximising available space (and ensuring safety of all). TMP design has focussed on lowering operating speeds and ensuring clear and obvious direction to road users.

Results

So far the project is progressing well with an excellent safety record.
