NEW FLYOVER TO BE BUILT FROM UPPER GLENEALY TO
ROBINSON ROAD ****
CONDUIT ROAD WILL BE OPEN TO ONE-WAY TRAFFIC ONLY BETWEEN ROBINSON ROAD AND CASTLE ROAD FROM JUNE 12,
THE SPECIAL TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT, BEGINNING AT 10 A.M. ON THAT DATE, ARE BEING INTRODUCED TO ALLOW WORK TO BE CARRIED OUT ON THE NEW FLYOVER FROM UPPER GLENEALY TO ROBINSON ROAD.
THE WORK IS EXPECTED TO TAKE ABOUT SIX MONTHS.
DURING THIS PERIOD RESIDENTS OF THE MID-LEVELS WHO USUALLY DRIVE FROM CONDUIT ROAD TO ROBINSON ROAD DOWN UPPER GLENEALY WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION TO CASTLE ROAD AND THEN INTO ROBINSON ROAD.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY: +OF COURSE, APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC SIGNS WILL BE ERECTED TO ASSIST MOTORISTS.
+AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS WILL BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES FOR
UPPER GLENEALY.+
THE NEW FLYOVER AT THE GLENEALY - ROBINSON ROAD JUNCTION WILL CONSIST OF AN ELEVATED ROAD SPANNING ABOUT 130 METRES OVER THE INTERSECTION.
THE P.W.D. SPOKESMAN SAID: +THIS WILL PROVIDE FREE TRAFFIC FLOW FROM CONDUIT ROAD TO ROBINSON ROAD,+
A TWO-LANE BRIDGE STRUCTURE OVER GLENEALY VALLEY IS ALSO
ROBINSON BEING BUILT TO PROVIDE A NEW EASTBOUND CARRIAGEWAY FOR ROAD.
+THIS WILL LEAVE THE EXISTING GROUND LEVEL FREE FOR WESTBOUND TRAFFIC,+ SAID THE SPOKESMAN.
THE SPOKESMAN ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THESE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS WOULD GREATLY FACILITATE THE SETTING DOWN AND COLLECTION OF CHILDREN AT NEARBY SCHOOLS.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID: THE UNDERTAKING IS PART OF THE P.W.D.'S MID-LEVELS TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT SCHEME, WHICH INCLUDES ANOTHER FLYOVER COMPLEX AT THE GARDEN RCAL ROUNDABOUT AND A FLYOVER AT THE BOTTOM OF GARDEN ROAD WHERE IT JOINS QUEENSWAY,+
HE SAID THAT WHILE WORK AT THE UPPER GLENEALY-ROBINSON ROAD JUNCTION WAS EXPECTED TO TAKE A MAXIMUM OF SIX MONTHS TO COMPLETE, EVERY EFFORT WOULD BE MADE TO SHORTEN THIS PERIOD.
