We're progressing the design to upgrade the Lindum rail crossing following community feedback and further technical investigations. We've also been working with Queensland Rail to integrate our road network and their rail infrastructure in the design, to minimise impacts on the community during construction.
The preliminary design includes:
- realigning the intersection to the west of the existing level crossing to improve sightlines and visibility making it safer and easier for road users
- installing traffic lights and controlled pedestrian crossing facilities on Lindum Road, Sibley Road, Kianawah Road and at the level crossing
- removing the right-turn from Sibley Road onto Kianawah Road
- installing a U-turn facility on Kianawah Road
- installing a new shared path and footpaths on Lindum Road, North Road, Kianawah Road and Sibley Road
- installing on-road bike lanes on Kianawah Road southbound and Lindum Road northbound
- installing new yellow box line marking and road surface
- installing new drainage, pavement, line marking and minor landscaping
Additional safety improvements on Sibley Road will include:
- widening the footpath on the northern side of Sibley Road and installing ramps for better connection to Lindum station
- installing a raised pedestrian crossing on Sibley Road to connect to new footpaths
- narrowing access to Malabar Street and Rodney Street to reduce speed
- installing no stopping lines on sections of Sibley Road.
The Australian Government, Queensland Government and Council are jointly funding this project. Construction is subject to funding confirmation.
