Wyndham City Completes Comprehensive Reconstruction with Traffic Lights, Sealed Shoulders, and Infrastructure Improvements
The completion of a $5.7 million enhancement to the intersection at Davis and Dohertys Road in Tarneit marks a significant milestone for the Wyndham City project. The initiative involved a comprehensive reconstruction of the intersection, incorporating the installation of traffic lights and sealed shoulders.
Additionally, the project encompassed the reconstruction of Davis Road to the south of the intersection, extending up to Twyford Way, and the reconstruction of Davis Road to the north of the intersection, extending up to Tarnala Road. Various enhancements such as public lighting, a footpath, a bicycle lane, and drainage works were also integrated into the overall upgrades.
Wyndham City Mayor, Councillor Jennie Barrera, emphasized the importance of this project in fostering a safer environment for the burgeoning community in Tarneit. She acknowledged the direct correlation between community growth and increased on-road traffic, emphasizing the project’s role in mitigating traffic congestion and enhancing the safety of local roads.
Mayor Barrera stated, “The Davis and Dohertys Road intersection upgrade has significantly enhanced road safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike, facilitating quicker journeys home to their families.”
This initiative follows a recent $1 million upgrade to the Boundary and Davis Road intersection in Mount Cottrell. The Mount Cottrell upgrade featured pavement widening and resurfacing, improvements in line markings and signage, as well as enhancements to road drainage systems.
