FROM mid-August, northbound traffic on Commonwealth Avenue will be diverted to a temporary road to its west as London Circuit is raised six metres to accommodate light rail.

Traffic heading south, away from Civic, will be diverted to the current northbound Commonwealth Avenue bridge over London Circuit.

    Really should have considered a tunnel. At least you’ll avoid headaches with the NCA.

      Imagine how much that must cost if this option was chosen

        NSW has done that many times e.g Epping to Chatswood was meant to be above ground. They got on with it and it was finished.

        The timeline for Canberra’s light rail is ridiculous. NSW and Qld would have gotten 4 stages done by the time this 2km extension is completed, never mind to Woden.
