Released 22/12/2017
Motorists and cyclists now have a direct link from the Majura Parkway to the Majura Park Commercial Precinct via Meddhung Road, also known as the Majura Link Road, which was officially opened today in time for the Boxing Day sales.
The $7.9 million project delivers 1.3 kilometres of road including a bridge over Woolshed Creek, on road cycle path and special measures to protect environmentally significant areas of golden sun moth and pink-tailed worm lizard habitat.
The project also included a significant flood levy to protect the heritage listed Duntroon Woolshed from a major flood event.
“Meddhung Road provides direct access to the Majura Park Commercial Precinct catering for local traffic from the Gungahlin area and North Canberra, and also making it easier for interstate traffic coming from Sydney travelling towards the Snowy Mountains,” said Acting Minister for Transport and City Services Rachel Stephen‑Smith
“The new road also caters for active travel with an on-road cycle lane for the entire length of the road and an off-road cycle path closer to IKEA including across the new bridge.”
These works follow some significant road upgrades in the area including the widening of Majura Road between Fairbairn Avenue and Mustang Avenue which was completed early 2017.
The IKEA northern access road off Majura Road at Mustang Avenue has also been constructed. This will be known as Dharaban Road and will provide an additional access into IKEA.
