For State Highway 2 traffic, the main change you’ll notice is there will be no more traffic signals. If you’re wanting to get onto or off State Highway 58, you’ll use the new elevated roundabout. There will be plenty of signage to guide you, and a lower speed limit in place to allow everyone to get used to the new layout.
For more information, plus a diagram and quick animation guide, please click here or call the project team on 0800 007 425.
