Project overview

A new urban arterial transport corridor and upgrade of Don Buck Road and Royal Road intersections. 

This project includes: 

  • The construction of a two-lane, 24m wide urban arterial transport corridor extending from the Don Buck Road and Royal Road intersection in the South, and connecting with the Redhills East-West Arterial Corridor (part of the NoRs RATN2A and RATN2C) in the North. Separated footpaths and cycle lanes will be provided on both sides of the corridor.

  • The construction of new signalised intersection approximately 50m north of the existing Don Buck Road and Royal Road roundabout, with localised widening around the roundabout. Royal Road will be straightened, connecting to Don Buck Road at a less acute angle. 

  • Retaining wall structures in land adjacent to the Don Buck Road and Royal Road intersection. 

  • Provision for public transport at the new intersection of Don Buck Road and Royal Road to improve bus travel time and reliability. This includes a dedicated bus approach lane on Royal Road and providing for ‘bus only’ through movements in the left-turn lanes.  

  • Provision of stormwater infrastructure. 

  • Bulk earthworks. 

  • Removal and relocation of existing utilities. 

  • Other construction related activities required outside the permanent corridor including re-grading of driveways, construction traffic manoeuvring and construction laydown areas.
