Hazell Bros is working on the Strathpine-Samford Road Route Safety Project, locally known as Eatons Crossing Road and Mount Samson Road. This key road connects Eatons Hill and Samford. The project aims to improve safety and efficiency along the Strathpine-Samford Road corridor. Key elements include signalising major intersections, widening specific road sections, and installing a wide centre line treatment to enhance vehicle separation.

The detailed scope of works includes, but not limited to:

  • Signalising the Eatons Crossing Road and Lilley Road intersection, Warner.
  • Widening Strathpine-Samford Road just west of Queen Elizabeth Drive to Gibbons Road.
  • Installing a wide centre line treatment to provide additional separation between vehicles travelling in opposite directions.
  • Shoulder widening to provide additional trafficable area to pull over, assist emergency vehicles to pass, accommodate wide vehicles and greater separation between cars and bike riders.
  • Providing safety barriers at various locations and removing roadside hazards (including necessary vegetation clearing).
  • Modifications at several intersections including dedicated right-turn lanes at Dawneta Court, Albion Road, Lascelle Court, Boland Court, Hodge Road, Lergessner Road, Lawson Road, Alpine Drive and Gibbons Road.
  • Installing a dedicated left-turn lane at Clear Mountain Road, Hodge Road, Lergessner Road, Alpine Drive and Gibbons Road to separate turning vehicles from through-traffic lanes.
  • Improved bike rider safety with 2m wide shoulders marked with bike symbols and intersection conflict points marked with green paint and bike symbols.
  • Provision of new police enforcement bays at identified locations.
