PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Mitchell Freeway southbound lanes between Hester Avenue and Vincent Street currently experience congestion in the morning peak. Main Roads’ data estimates that during the morning peak period, up to 45,000 road users use this section of the freeway. To address this, a ‘Smart Freeway’ system is being implemented along the freeway, with entry ramps to be modified with co-ordinated signals. Smart technologies are being installed, including electronic overhead signs which display speed reductions and lane closures.
