TheUS$360 million work involves removing two highway bridges over Minjungbal Drive and building a 330m viaduct over Central Valley, located in the south part of Sexton Hill. The project also includes realignment work for Laura Street, which will be connected through a four-way intersection to meet with the current Pacific Highway and Short Street. The upgrade work will provide a new link with three lanes of traffic in either direction that features a speed limit of 100km/h.
