Our Experience—Transport
Lighting and Traffic Signals
Hall Road East Upgrade— $42m CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, GEOTECHNICAL, TRAFFIC AND SUSTAINABILITY
Lighting the way. Illuminating our roads with functional and effective lighting and traffic signals is essential for safe and efficient transportation. Our design engineering focuses on creating well-lit environments that enhance nighttime visibility, improve safety for drivers and pedestrians, and contribute to aesthetically pleasing streetscapes. Traffic signal design plays a pivotal role in optimising traffic flow, ensuring safety, and enhancing the overall driving experience. By carefully analysing traffic patterns, coordinating signal control, and selecting appropriate equipment, we can create efficient and user-friendly transportation systems for all.
This project formed part of the wider Hall Road Upgrade which comprised the addition of an extra lane in each direction between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway, upgrade to five intersections to add capacity and improve traffic flow, new walking and cycling paths, and installation of centre median and kerb-side safety barriers. WGA undertook the detailed design for the complex signalised intersection arrangement, working collaboratively with the Department of Transport and Planning to ensure the design was documented and approved in a timely manner to meet the construction program..

Main North Road and Main North East Intersections with Nottage Terrace— $19m CIVIL
WGA delivered the detailed design and documentation of both Main North and Main North East Intersections with Nottage Terrace.
WGA managed and undertook detailed design to deliver these two projects including updating the traffic modelling. This area was a previous bottle neck for northern traffic to and from the CBD and, considering their close proximity, it required an integrated approach to maximise the outcomes. The improved traffic performance has significantly reduced travel times and improved local amenity as traffic no longer uses the local network to avoid these intersections.
Torrens Road to River Torrens— $801m CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, GEOTECHNICAL, HEAVY LIFTING, HYDROGEOLOGY, PAVEMENTS, STRUCTURAL, TEMPORARY WORKS AND TRAFFIC WGA led the traffic analysis, road design, pavements, water sensitive urban design, geotechnical and lighting teams for the project. WGA developed the concept and then the detailed design for the signalised gyratory intersection at Grange and Manton Street in a highly constrained location, to allow construction of the road bridge within the centre of the intersection. Since the completion of intersection, WGA engineers continued to monitor its performance and suggested improvements to the phasing and signal times to ensure optimal performance. The temporary intersection performed so well that travel times improved during construction through this section and the department received positive feedback from the public, which is unheard of especially during construction!
Caroline Springs Boulevard, the Esplanade and the Crossing Intersection Design— $5.4m CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, GEOTECHNICAL AND TRAFFIC City of Melton engaged WGA as the design lead for the intersection upgrade of Caroline Springs Boulevard with the Crossing and the Esplanade, comprising detailed design of traffic, civil, drainage and geotechnical engineering services. The project included the upgrade to the existing roundabout to a new signalised intersection in the suburb of Caroline Springs in Melbourne’s west. The project’s objectives were to provide controlled crossing locations for pedestrians and cyclists, to promote walking and cycling as a viable and safe alternative to driving, and to control vehicle movements at the intersection and, in doing so, reduce congestion during the peak periods.
Goodwood/Springbank/Daws Roads Intersection Upgrade— $61m CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, GEOTECHNICAL, STRUCTURAL AND TRAFFIC
Part of the wider SA Metro Congestion Initiative, WGA was awarded the finalisation of the business case and conceptual layout, and the detailed design of the road intersection upgrade. This included the realignment of Springbank and Daws roads and additional traffic lanes to improve road safety and travel times for motorists. Works included road widening, road realignment, upgraded and new pedestrian crossings, pedestrian/cyclist ramps and footpaths, new and upgraded traffic signals and road lighting, dedicated bicycle lanes on the approaches and through the intersection, and new landscaping treatments.
