Work under way on Fendalton Rd
People travelling along Fendalton Road will have noticed some
changes over the last two months. Work is now well under way on
significant improvements to the road. Landscape clearing and pruning has been carried out from the railway to
Clyde Road. An upgrade of street lighting and underground services is also
being done along this length of road. A turning bay outside Mona Vale has been installed and a new bus
bay constructed between Stratford St and Jacksons Rd on the city
bound side.Work is being done on a new median island, between the
railway and Straven Rd, and on the construction of footpaths and a
road carriageway on the south side of this section of road. The road works involve changing Fendalton Road between the
railway and Clyde Road from two lanes to four. The new road will
include the landscaped median, cycle lanes, and visitor parking among
the existing trees where possible. The project also includes providing
off-street parking to serve the needs of visitors to St Barnabas Church. The improvements to Fendalton Road have been 40 years in the
planning. The City Council received the go ahead from the
Environment Court in May this year for the changes. Works
Infrastructure is doing the work. |
