What's happening
Project timing update
The construction of the Lloyd Street Extension, including the connection of Lloyd Street to the Great Eastern Highway Bypass and Abernethy Road, forms a critical first stage in the delivery of the broader Great Eastern Highway Bypass Interchanges initiative. The connection between Lloyd Street, Abernethy Road and Great Eastern Highway Bypass needs to be operational to maintain road network connectivity before works on the major Roe Highway / Great Eastern Highway Bypass interchange can proceed. This is because the access ramps required for the proposed Roe Highway / Great Eastern Highway Bypass interchange will directly impact the current access between Stirling Crescent and the Bypass, requiring this connection to be permanently closed.
The Lloyd Street Extension will deliver an alternative, upgraded connection to GEH Bypass for vehicles currently using Stirling Crescent.
Lloyd Street Bridge a step closer following design agreement with Traditional Owners
Construction of the Lloyd Street Bridge expected to begin by the end of 2026 following agreement on design principles with local Traditional Owners.
The agreement follows four years of consultation, collaboration and design investigation to ensure the crossing avoids impact to cultural significant sites, including the Helena River and a seasonal pool located on the bridge’s alignment.
