The Daily Mercury in Mackay has recently reported that a major intersection near Mackay Airport, which claimed the life of a young man four years ago, will soon be upgraded to alleviate peak hour traffic woes.
A slip lane will be constructed at the Milton St and Boundary Rd junction to allow for smoother traffic flow to and from Mackay Airport.
However, the slip lane is an interim measure as council's long-term plan is to install traffic lights at the intersection, which was the scene of a fatality in August 2007.
Mackay Regional Council Mayor Col Meng said discussions with Mackay Airport were already under way in regards to upgrading the junction and about what lighting could be installed, and it was anticipated construction would start after the wet season. There had also been discussions about resuming airport land for the intersection upgrade.
