Work starts on Meadowlands Road intersection upgradeWork has commenced on a major upgrade of a dangerous intersection located at Meadowlands Road, Carindale according to Cr Adrian Schrinner (Chandler Ward). The traffic safety improvement project at the intersection of Meadowlands Road and Wright Street is expected to cost more than $1.5 million. "The upgrade will help to manage the growing daily traffic flow being generated by outer-eastern suburbs such as Belmont, Gumdale, Wakerley and Manly West, Cr Schrinner said. "At present, motorists exiting Wright Street onto Meadowlands Road have very limited visibility of traffic approaching from the right as a result of the raised bridge across the Gateway Motorway," he said. "Poor visibility at the intersection creates a very dangerous situation where we have near-misses on a daily basis." "This upgrade can't happen soon enough," Cr Schrinner said The upgrade project delivers on yet another election commitment
made by Liberal Lord Mayor Campbell Newman and is part of a record
$18 million investment in the local area. Article provided by Adrian
