One of the busiest intersections in Hervey Bay is set to become safer with electrical and excavation works starting Monday 15 February to pave the way for the installation of traffic lights in early 2022.
Deputy Mayor Darren Everard said the intersection of Boundary Road, Robert Street and Hughes Road was particularly busy around school drop off and pick up times.
“The intersection services three schools – Urangan High, Sandy Straits State School and Star of the Sea Primary School – as well as a childcare centre. Boundary Road is also one of the major east-west thoroughfares in the Bay connecting to the airport and the medical precinct.”
