Project introduction

 

About the project

Brisbane City Council has identified the intersection of Kelvin Grove Road and Lower Clifton Terrace as requiring an upgrade to improve the overall operation of the intersection, reduce congestion on Kelvin Grove Road and enhance safety for people walking and riding through the area.

The upgrade will adjust the traffic signal phasing and modify access at Lower Clifton Terrace to allow traffic to move more efficiently through the intersection easing congestion for motorists on Kelvin Grove Road, especially during peak times.

The Kelvin Grove Road and Lower Clifton Terrace intersection upgrade is jointly funded by Brisbane City Council and the Australian Government as part of the Roads to Recovery program.

Project benefits

The upgrade at this intersection will introduce the below benefits. 

  • Reduce travel time and help to ease congestion by adjusting the signal phasing to extend the green time for traffic on Kelvin Grove Road. 
  • Improve intersection operation efficiency by removing the signalised left-turn movement from Lower Clifton Terrace into Kelvin Grove Road. 
  • Enhance safety and connectivity for people walking and riding by upgrading the footpaths and kerb ramps. 

Project details 

The works to be undertaken as part of this project are outlined below. 

  • Removing the signalised left turn from Lower Clifton Terrace into Kelvin Grove Road, changing access to right turn only, to allow for greater green time for traffic on Kelvin Grove Road. 
  • Changing the unsignalised access point at Lower Clifton Terrace and Kelvin Grove Road to left out only. 
  • Upgrading the footpaths and kerb ramps at the intersection. 
  • Installing new road pavement, line marking, and landscaping. 

Project timing

Start of construction is dependent on the finalisation of land dedication required for this project. 

More information about construction, including project timing, will be shared closer to the start of works. To register to receive updates about this project, please complete the online contact form.

Permanent access changes

Once the project is complete, the route to travel north on Kelvin Grove Road from Lower Clifton Terrace and access to Lower Clifton Terrace by road users travelling northbound on Kelvin Grove Road or from the Hale Street off-ramps will permanently change. 

  • Please refer to the 'detour map - access to Kelvin Grove Road' which shows road users travelling on Lower Clifton Terrace will be required to turn right into the lower section of Lower Clifton Terrace and use the unsignalised access point to turn left onto Kelvin Grove Road.
  • Please refer to the 'detour map - access to Lower Clifton Terrace' which shows two alternate routes for road users using the Hale Street off-ramps. For road users travelling northbound on Kelvin Grove Road the new route shows road users continuing north and turning left into Victoria Street, taking the first left into Scott Street before turning left onto Musgrave Road, to then turn left to access Lower Clifton Terrace.
