Background

The
National Roads Authority (NRA) will commence work on the Airport
Connector Road Project.

The
project will
connect the Owen Roberts International Airport area to the Esterley
Tibbetts Highway and provide an alternate route to North Sound Road.
Phase One of the project will run from the end of Sparky Drive north
for approx. 0.3 mile and then in a westerly direction for 0.5 mile to
intersect with the roundabout just south of the National Gallery on
Esterley Tibbetts Highway. The NRA has contracted Decco Ltd, part of
DART’s real estate division, to provide project management
services.
