Maroochydore-Noosa Road (Bradman Avenue), Diura Street and Denna Street, improve intersections
Construction is underway for safety improvements to the intersections of Bradman Avenue/Diura Street and Bradman Avenue/Denna Street, Maroochydore.
The department is delivering safety improvements on Maroochydore-Noosa Road (locally known as Bradman Avenue) at the intersections of Diura Street and Denna streets in Maroochydore.
Construction works include new traffic signals, modifying the left-turn slip lanes and installing new signalised pedestrian crossings at the Diura Street intersection.
Works will also include modifying the existing traffic signals and improving the existing pedestrian crossings at Denna Street as well as the addition of bike lanes between Kuran Street and Denna Street.
The Bradman Avenue work zone will be resurfaced and parking adjustments made.
These improvements aim to reduce the rate and severity of crashes at this location and improve conditions for all road users.
