Work will soon begin to improve safety at the Broome Street and Wright Street intersection in Highgate. A roundabout and pedestrian crossings will be built to slow traffic and enhance visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

The intersection has been prioritised as part of the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program, which aims to reduce crashes and save lives on Australian roads by funding works at high-risk locations.

The City received support for the project during the community consultation period in March and April 2023.

Construction will start on Tuesday 17 September and take around four weeks, weather permitting. Works will be completed during the day with no night works planned.

The works will involve removal and reinstatement of existing pram ramps, kerbs, asphalt and the installation of new drainage gullies and junction pits including drainage road crossings.

The intersection will be closed and detours in place. Access to some properties will be restricted and residents will need to follow the direction of traffic controllers. 

We sincerely apologise for the disruption this may cause and appreciate your patience.
