The upgrade involved widening the road to four lanes and integrating the intersections joining Plaza Parade, Evans Street and Maroochydore Road. The new lanes are expected to assist traffic flow through the signalised intersections.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vcex_heading text=”Project Design Brief” tag=”h2″ font_weight=”semibold” font_size=”1.154em” css=”.vc_custom_1534997838718{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1651635249179{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]The creation of several turning lanes in a restricted corridor highlighted the importance of surface water management. Designers wanted to ensure all stormwater runoff would be effectively intercepted to eliminate ponding against the centre median.

The large openings of the Hi-Flo grate ensure runoff is intercepted and directed into the channel system.
Anti-shunt lugs built into the channel rail seat ensure dynamic wheel movements do not dislodge grates.
