SPRINGFIELD residents will be driving on four lanes on the Springfield Parkway and Springfield Greenbank Arterial sooner than anticipated, with final works on the project getting underway.
Growth, Infrastructure and Waste Committee Chair Mayor Teresa Harding said a major traffic switch, implemented last week will fast-track the completion of Stage 1 of the project.
“The upgrade of Springfield Parkway and Springfield Greenbank Arterial from two to four lanes is Ipswich City Council’s biggest road project, and it’s exciting to see Stage 1 so close to completion,” Mayor Harding said.
“Last Thursday night a traffic switch was instigated that will significantly alter how residents drive through and around this major upgrade, including changing access to Escarpment Drive.
“The change could save at least eight weeks on project construction,.
“The switch will take place now, during school holidays, to further minimise impacts on local schools.”
