Canberrans who travel along Aikman Drive in Belconnen can expect changes and delays to traffic conditions during duplication upgrade works.
From Saturday, 1 July the median strip will be adjusted to suit the newly widened road and traffic will be directed around the median strip.
The Aikman Drive bus stop will be permanently relocated from its current position to a new spot several meters back, to accommodate the widened stretch of road.
