The intersection upgrade will include:
- duel right-turn lanes into and exiting both Brunt Rd and Whiteside Rd
- a westbound bus priority lane
- cyclist and pedestrian paths
The upgrade works will increase the capacity of the intersection to handle the increased traffic volumes in this vital growth corridor.
