Drivers along George Bass Drive will not have missed new work to build a roundabout at the Broulee Road intersection, replacing the off-set crossroad that has proved such a nightmare for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike – with too many crashes over the years.
While we build the roundabout, the Broulee Road entrance to Broulee will be closed for several months, so please do allow extra time if traveling to or from the village. George Bass Drive will remain open throughout, with traffic control in place.
t's not ideal but more a case of short-term pain for long-term gain. On top of improving road safety – with an upgrade to the lighting, and islands and paths included for cyclists and pedestrians – the roundabout will improve traffic flow along one of the shire's busiest roads.
While Broulee will be accessible from George Bass Drive using the busy Train Street entrance to the village, we'd encourage you to use Annetts Parade if travelling to or from the north. This will help keep traffic moving smoothly during the work.
And yes, we have the Train Street intersection in our sights too. Stay tuned.
