Intersection upgrade at Edwin Flack, Birnie & Shane Gould Avenues

Sydney Olympic Park Authority has commenced work on a project to improve traffic flow and safety at the intersection of Edwin Flack Avenue, Birnie Avenue and Shane Gould Avenue.

The project will see the installation of traffic signals at the intersection, along with an additional lane exiting Shane Gould Avenue and right hand turning lanes from Edwin Flack Avenue into both Birnie Avenue and Shane Gould Avenue. The project will require a number of trees to be removed from the median strip to accommodate the additional lanes and improve sight lines for the intersection. New tree plantings will occur adjacent to the P3 car park and Australia Avenue marker.

There may be some changes to traffic conditions at the intersection including the temporary closure of Shane Gould Avenue, as important works are carried out for the project. Works will be programmed to avoid any clashes with major events occuring in the Park, where possible.

This road upgrade project is expected to be completed by mid 2012.

The Authority appreciates your cooperation and apologises for any inconvenience caused.
