Roundabout to be installed at Holbrook Road and Dunns Road intersection

Published: 03 Nov 2023 9:59am

Residents and motorists who travel through Springvale are advised there will be roadworks occurring at the intersection of Holbrook Road and Dunns Road over the coming months.

The works involve the installation of a roundabout at the intersection which aims to increase safety.

There will be road closures and detours in place for the duration of the works, which are expected to commence on Monday 13 November, continuing into early 2024, weather permitting.

Holbrook Road will remain open to northbound and southbound traffic throughout the project, with restrictions in place.

Road closures will be in place on the eastern and western sides of the intersection; traffic to and from Dunns Road and Lloyd Road will be via detours.

Traffic west of Holbrook Road (from Dunns Road) will be diverted via Currawang Drive and Mirbelia Drive.

Traffic east of Holbrook Road (from Lloyd Road) will be diverted via Mallee Road, Springvale Drive and Featherwood Drive.

Wagga Wagga City Council Director Strategy & Projects Phil McMurray said the roundabout will improve driving conditions at the intersection.

“The upgrade of the intersection to include a roundabout is necessary to improve safety for motorists as it is expected traffic will increase at this already busy intersection once Dunns Road re-opens,” Mr McMurray said.

“There will be detours through residential streets for the duration of the project, so we encourage motorists to take care, and for residents to exercise caution while there is extra traffic about.

“We appreciate the patience of residents and motorists as the works take place to improve the conditions of the Holbrook Road and Dunns Road intersection.”

The expected timeframe includes a temporary pause in works over the Christmas period.
