Transit Lane Connector
The new Transit Lane Connector will ease the bottleneck between Davey and Macquarie Streets by adding a new lane.
About the project
The Transit Lane Connector project will see an extra lane built to improve traffic flow from the Southern Outlet between Davey and Macquarie Streets, connecting on to the new peak hour clearway on Macquarie Street.
This work is expected to start in early 2024 with minimal impact on traffic flow as most of the work will occur at night.
The Transit Lane Connector will help ease traffic during construction of the Southern Outlet Transit Lane.
The exit from the Southern Outlet at the top of Davey Street through to Macquarie is a recognised traffic bottleneck, particularly during peak hour.
This project will reduce the bottleneck by adding an extra lane to improve traffic flow.
Timing
It is expected that construction will begin in early 2024 and take around four months to complete, weather permitting.
Traffic impacts
Any impact will be minimal as most of the work will be done at night.
Does this project include aquisition?
The department has acquired land from two properties to enable the project to be built.

We are timing these works to minimise traffic impacts and make sure we aren’t working on too many sections at the same time.
