About the project

Widening and sealing shoulders provides a safe and efficient road and allows additional space for drivers to regain control, reducing road crashes.

The Birralee Road Upgrades project has been split into three sections:

  1. Birralee Road, Roxford Avenue to Brushy Rivulet (complete)
  2. Birralee Road, Brushy Rivulet to Priestleys Lane
  3. Birralee Road, Priestleys Lane to Frankford Road junction

Timing

Work to upgrade the southern section of Birralee Road (between Roxford Avenue and Brushy Rivulet) has been completed.

Designs are continuing for the northern section of Birralee Road, from Brushy Rivulet to Priestleys Lane and from Priestleys Lane to Frankford Road junction.

Community consultation

We are continuing to engage with impacted landowners on both Birralee Road and Frankford Road.
