In brief:

• Enabling works have begun on the southern section of the Athllon Drive Duplication project.
• These will prepare the Athllon Drive corridor for the project's main construction.
• The work will take around six months to complete (weather permitting).

Work has begun on the second package of enabling works for the duplication of the southern section of Athllon Drive.

The work will prepare the Athllon Drive corridor for the main construction of the duplication between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive in Kambah. This is a key link connecting Tuggeranong and Woden.

These enabling works will make it safer for workers, as well as path and road users, when the main construction takes place.

This phase of the project will include:

• relocating underground services
• upgrading active travel paths
• construction of new path connections
• improving path lighting.

The work will take around six months to complete (weather permitting).

The Athllon Drive Duplication project

The project will see the duplication of 2.4 kilometres of Athllon Drive between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive in Tuggeranong.

Athllon Drive is a vital road for people living in Canberra's south.

Two rapid bus routes, cyclists and around 2,000 vehicles currently use this road every hour during peak periods.

The duplication will:

• improve travel times for all transport modes
• improve safety for walking, cycling, public transport and driving
• not preclude light rail which may be constructed in this transport corridor in the future.
