Taylors Road and Plumpton Road Traffic Lights

  • Project scheduleStart late 2024 with expected completion late 2025
Project overview

The intersection of Taylors Road and Plumpton Road has been identified as a priority upgrade due to high traffic volumes and associated safety hazards.  Council will be carrying out upgrade works to transform the existing T-intersection into a four-way intersection, with traffic lights.  This upgrade is a key component of the broader Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade Plan, which aims to accommodate the future growth of our city while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of residents.

Key features of the project include:
  • Expansion and realignment of the road to improve traffic flow and safety
  • Installation of new traffic lights to regulate traffic and enhance safety at the intersection
  • Pedestrian crossings to allow for safe and accessible pedestrian crossings as well as support active transport options
  • Installation of public lighting to increase visibility and enhance safety
  • Drainage Improvements
  • New landscaping
  • Relocation of services such as electricity, water, gas, and communications will be placed underground for durability and safety
      
Project timeline

From Monday, 28 October 2024, we will begin preliminary site establishment works, which will include:

  • Setting up site offices
  • Installing site fencing
  • Underground service investigations
  • Vegetation removal
  • Installing traffic management, including road closures and detours

Following these preliminary activities, we will commence the main upgrade works at the intersection, with expected project completion in early 2026. Please refer to map over the page. 

Traffic management will be in place during this time as we complete these works over several stages to accommodate traffic in the area. There may be times where sections of Plumpton Road may be closed temporarily to complete works including during the January 2025 school holidays when traffic volumes are lower. Please note, speed limits will be reduced to 40km/h for safety during these and detours will be clearly signposted. 

Works will take place between 7am and 6pm Monday to Saturday. No work will take place on Sundays.  

Please take care around the worksite and always follow directions from traffic controllers and signage. 

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to deliver this important upgrade.
