Tuggeranong Parkway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tuggeranong Parkway is a major Dual Carriageway link in Canberra, Australia. The Tuggeranong Parkway links Canberra Civic to the southern Canberra metro district of Tuggeranong, and is a Bypass road to the Weston Creek District of Canberra. It also links to the Glenloch Interchange, where roads such as Caswell Drive connects to Belconnen.
The Tuggeranong Parkway is 4 lanes wide, has a speed limit of 100 km/h, and is divided variously by a concrete wall or large median strip planted with trees. It was involved in the Canberra bushfires of 2003 in which the fires came up to the edge of the road and wiped away dense and vast forest on the west side of the road.
In parts space has been set aside for duplication of the road (to eight lanes) if future needs require it.
The Tuggeranong Parkway also connects to the future Gungahlin Drive Extension project to be completed by 2007.
