TMR flags highway improvements
The Department of Transport and Main Roads has been looking at ways to improve the safety of the junction of the New England Highway and Greenmount Etonvale Road at Cambooya.
The junction was the site of a collision between two trucks two weeks ago that resulted in a man being taken to hospital.
A Transport and Main Roads (TMR) spokesperson said planning to investigate safety improvements on the New England Highway between Cambooya Connection Road and Greenmount Connection Road, also known as Greenmount-Clifton Road, was completed in March last year.
“Following community consultation, three improvements were identified including the widening of the road to increase capacity, installing wide centre lines to separate opposing traffic, and installing overtaking lanes,” the spokesperson said.
“The widening and wide centre line treatments will improve safety at the New England Highway and Greenmount Etonvale Road intersection.”
There is currently no funding available for TMR to begin the improvements.
