BMD to deliver major upgrade for Raglan Avenue, Edward Street, and South Road network
Leading construction company BMD has secured the contract to upgrade the Raglan Avenue, Edward Street, and South Road network, a key infrastructure project aimed at easing congestion and improving connectivity for local motorists. The project includes the construction of a new link road that will eliminate the current ‘dogleg’ movement for traffic travelling between Edward Street and Raglan Avenue, streamlining journey times and enhancing safety.
New link road to improve traffic flow and safety
The upgrade will see the creation of a direct connection between Edward Street and Raglan Avenue, removing the need for vehicles to negotiate the awkward ‘dogleg’ intersection. This is expected to significantly reduce congestion, cut travel times, and improve overall road safety for commuters and freight operators using this busy corridor.
Project to support local community and economic growth
In addition to congestion relief, the network upgrade is set to deliver broader benefits for the local community, including improved access for residents, businesses, and emergency services. The project forms part of a wider strategy to support economic growth and sustainable development in the region by investing in critical transport infrastructure.
Commitment to efficient and sustainable infrastructure delivery
BMD’s appointment underscores the company’s expertise in delivering complex infrastructure upgrades and its commitment to sustainable construction practices. The project will incorporate measures to minimise environmental impact and disruption during construction, ensuring long-term benefits for the community.
Looking ahead: Timely delivery and lasting benefits
With work set to commence soon, the Raglan Avenue, Edward Street, and South Road upgrade is expected to deliver lasting improvements to traffic flow, connectivity, and quality of life for residents and businesses in the area.
