MRPV – Burwood Highway
The new-look Burwood Highway and McMahons Road intersection is now open following the completion of major works on the project.
Coming in on-time, the Burwood Highway-McMahons Road Intersection Upgrade recently switched on the traffic lights, with the first set of vehicles and pedestrians travelling through the intersection on 21 February.
McMahons Road and Clyde Street are now open to left and right movements through the new intersection while the new pedestrian crossings also provide a safer route for locals to get across the Burwood Highway.
The Burwood Highway–McMahons Road Intersection Upgrade has:
• improved efficiencies in the transport network by reducing peak hour travel time variability and increasing the number of vehicles that can travel along the corridor each hour
• improved road safety and reduced crash rates by upgrading the intersection and installing pedestrian operated crossings
• improved access to businesses on the south side of the intersection
• enabled more active and inclusive communities by making it easier and safer for pedestrians to cross the road.
