We’re making it way safer and easier to use the intersection at Langdons Road and Greers Road in Bishopdale.
This busy intersection has faced increased traffic flow due to the development and expansion of businesses in the area. Approximately 29,000 people now travel through Greers Road and Langdons Road every day, which has increased the traffic-related concerns in the area, including delays and safety risks for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists.
We'll be installing new traffic lights and modifying the road layout to make this intersection safer and easier to use.
The upgrades will reduce delays for turning traffic, improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and help to reduce the volume of traffic shortcutting through adjacent neighbourhood streets.
Our construction programme runs from 6 August to 30 November. Find out more information on the start works notice(external link) or see below for a summary of the dates and traffic impacts.
| Date | Traffic impact |
| 6 August to 11 August | Shoulder closures and footpath detours; 30km/h speed limit. |
| 12 August to 30 November | One-way system (southeast bound) on Langdons Road between Greers Road and Morrison Avenue – follow the signposted detour; no access to Reynolds Avenue at Greers Road; footpath detours; 30km/h speed limit. |
While the one-way system is in place, from 12 August to 30 November, signposted detours will be in place.
A map of the primary detour route can be found below. Detours for residents will also be signposted but for simplicity, the map just shows ‘resident access’ points with orange arrow markers.
