Tillyard Drive Upgrades

May 31, 2018

Traffic lights will be installed on Tillyard Drive at intersections with Ginninderra Drive and Lhotsky Street. 

Just like everyone else who uses these intersections regularly, I will be happy to see these upgrades happen as soon as 
possible.

The details

• $8.12 million over two years to upgrade the intersections of Ginninderra Drive/Tillyard Drive, Tillyard Drive/Lhotsky Street and Kuringa Drive/Owen Dixon Drive.

• A feasibility study and preliminary design of the Tillyard Drive intersection with Ginninderra Drive, including analysis of the impact on traffic at the nearby intersection of Tillyard Drive with Lhotsky Street, has been completed.
• $4 million over two years will be provided for the detailed design and construction of an upgrade at the intersections of Ginninderra Drive/Tillyard Drive and Tillyard Drive/Lhotsky Street.

The upgrades will also include an additional through lane on the eastern approach to both the intersections, an additional right turn lane from Ginninderra Drive onto Tillyard Drive, minor road widening and kerb adjustments northbound on Lhotsky Street and construction of paths providing connection to the intersection.
• The upgrades will improve safety and congestion at these intersections including improved safety and crossing opportunities for pedestrian and cyclists.
