Building new infrastructure

Building the Green Square to Ashmore connector

This project will provide better access for people walking, riding bikes and using public transport.

Green SquareAlexandria

Project Status: In progress

The section of the road that links Botany Road to O’Riordan Street opened in July 2024. We expect to complete works through to Bowden Street and name the road in late 2024.

What we’re doing

We’re building a new street connecting Green Square to the Ashmore precinct.

It will connect Geddes Avenue in the Green Square town centre with Bowden Street in Alexandria. It will include 2 new intersections with traffic signals at O’Riordan Street and Bourke Road and upgrade works to the existing traffic signals at Botany Road and Geddes Avenue.

We’ve made several changes to the original proposal and invited your feedback on a revised proposal for this project in May 2021.

The road features a single traffic lane in each direction to be dedicated as a public transport corridor (bus lanes) with local traffic access to adjoining properties. The road also features an on-road 2-way cyclepath that connects to the existing east-west cyclepaths on Bowden Street and Geddes Avenue. It also provides interchange with the existing north-south cyclepath on Bourke Road.

The new street will run from the intersection of Geddes Avenue and Botany Road, crossing at O’Riordan Street to the intersection of Bourke Road and Bowden Street.

Lush green grass and plants surround the path, and a palm tree stands to the left. In the background, contemporary buildings with reflective glass facades rise against a clear blue sky. A bright yellow pedestrian sign on the right indicates a turn or direction.
