What did the transport study reveal about the intersection between Rutleys Road and Pacific Highway?
The Rutleys Road and Pacific Highway intersection performance is currently performing at 90% (ie 10% spare) in peak hours. This is without the ‘ additional ’ Chain Valley Coal Project traffic which would add 10 truck movements per hour in each direction. It is anticipated that by 2031, spare capacity will increase to 20% as the intersection would have been modified to cover the increase in background traffic growth without increased project truck numbers. The proposed intersection changes include the introduction of a stop line for west bound traffic on the Pacific Highway to enable easier merging from Rutleys Road.
