The $16 million road connects the suburbs of North Lakes and Dakabin in one of Australia’s fastest growing areas. Plantation Road is a two-lane road and has the capacity to expand to four lanes. It also has bicycle and pedestrian pathways on both sides of the road. Due to the poor soil quality in the area, the road required some pavement areas to be 1.3m deep.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][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_1582265561356{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]The designers were required to reduce unnecessary excavation due to the poor soil quality and considered using a linear drainage system.
