Key Projects
Lakeside Drive Road Upgrade - Completed November 2020
Lakeside Drive has a high flow of traffic with approximately 6,000 vehicles utilising it daily. The road is accessed by a range of community members including: emergency services, residents/commuters, uni students/lecturers, public transport.
Through ongoing assessment it has been identified that the surface of the road and a portion of the underlying road base is in need of improvement. The project, jointly funded by City of Darwin and the Australian Governments Roads to Recovery Program, will involve removing and replacing the road pavement to a depth of approximately 50cm. Further improvements to Lakeside will include upgrades to the pedestrian and bicycle crossing points which will enhance the roadway for all users.
