New project website for Western Link
With major developments in the design of the Western Link over the past few months a new website has been created to show the new designs for the road and for the intersections along its length.
The site also reviews the history of the Western Link, provides a full set of frequently asked questions and reviews the vision, objectives, values and outcomes.
Its most interesting and attractive feature is an interactive map of the design of the whole road with a focus on the intersections.
