Background

The National Roads Authority (NRA) will commence work on the Airport Connector Road Project.

The project will connect the Owen Roberts International Airport area to the Esterley Tibbetts Highway and provide an alternate route to North Sound Road. Phase One of the project will run from the end of Sparky Drive north for approx. 0.3 mile and then in a westerly direction for 0.5 mile to intersect with the roundabout just south of the National Gallery on Esterley Tibbetts Highway. The NRA has contracted Decco Ltd, part of DART’s real estate division, to provide project management services.
