The Australian and ACT governments are pleased to announce a significant milestone has been achieved in the Monaro Highway Upgrade Project at the Lanyon Drive-interchange. The detailed design and construction contract for the new flyover has been awarded to a local ACT company, Woden Contractors, ahead of main works starting next year. This contract represents a $70 million investment to make the highway safer, improve travel times and support freight movements. The contract includes: • a new southbound flyover of the Monaro Highway over Lanyon Drive (including three-metre wide sealed shoulders) • upgrading of the highway road pavement from David Warren Road through to Sheppard Street (including three-metre-wide sealed shoulders) • a new widened bridge on the northbound carriageway over Dog Trap Creek just north of Lanyon Drive Another major package of works for the interchange is planned for 2024, subject to environmental and other approvals.
