Upgrading one of Brisbane’s busiest roads

Vulture Street is on one of Brisbane's busiest roads. The upgrades required meticulous traffic management plans to ensure safe and uninterrupted travel during the works. The management of pedestrian and vehicle access to adjacent commercial and private premises was key to the success of this project, with measures put in place to ensure network accessibility throughout the project. Noise disruptions were conscientiously minimised, with all works strategically scheduled during approved operational hours, resulting in minimal disturbance to sensitive receptors within the local council area.

Community benefits

The completion of this upgrade has significantly enhanced safety for both pedestrians and vehicles navigating the local area. The addition of a signalised crossing not only enhances safety and accessibility at this busy intersection but also controls the flow of traffic on Vulture Street.
