Council is taking a wholistic approach for the major upgrade works within the Constitution Road Corridor between Belmore Street and Meadowbank Railway Station to improve traffic capacity and vehicle and pedestrian safety. The works will support the predicted future traffic management requirements of Constitution Road as a primary sub-arterial access road into Meadowbank Town Centre.

The Constitution Road Infrastructure Upgrade will deliver a range of important traffic, safety and public domain improvements, enhance the overall amenity of the Constitution Road corridor and provide improved active transport infrastructure at key locations. The Constitution Road Corridor covers between Belmore Street and the western side of the Meadowbank Railway Station, near Bank Street. The upgrade will also address increasing maintenance costs through the refurbishment of existing assets, such as the Angas Street Bridge.

The upgrade is being delivered over two stages. Stage 1 of the works is now complete and provides much needed improvements to access and mobility for both pedestrians and cyclists. 

Stage 2 is currently in ‘investigation and design’ and includes works across five separate phases on Constitution Road between Belmore Street and the western side of the Meadowbank Railway Station, near Bank Street. View the proposed upgrades by selecting the button below.

Stage 1 Works

Constitution Road Meadowbank

Background

Stage 1 of the works was completed in May 2024, providing much needed improvements to access and mobility for both pedestrians and active transport users within the Meadowbank Station and educational precinct with at-grade access being user friendly for wheelchair and pram users, avoiding the longer detours which were previously required.

Over the three months of intensive onsite construction activity, the rock face under the Angas Street bridge was cut back to allow the construction of the footpath connection between Bowden Street and See Street and new pedestrian crossing on Constitution Road (near See Street). The rock cutting works overcame challenging wet weather and restrictive site conditions, which required amendments to the design to ensure the ongoing structural integrity of the bridge, support of the embankment abutment and management of nearby high voltage utilities.
