Benefits achieved by major infrastructure projects in the study area of Bruce Highway: 2019/20

This Project is funded under the National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACoE) research agreement. It aims to better understand the past and current economic cost of traffic congestion on Bruce Highway, evaluate the effectiveness of smart motorway treatments that were implemented in the past years, and assess the potential impacts of a series of major infrastructure projects on Bruce Highway southbound performance. The study covers two parts: Part 1 – Bruce Highway traffic performance evaluation (Section 2 and Section 3): Focus on the before-and-after comparison for Bruce Highway southbound to assess the impacts of the first three projects listed above individually. Part 2 – Travel choice changes investigation (Section 4 and Section 5 ): Investigate how the infrastructure works influenced mode choice and the impact on Bruce Highway and the broader road network, particularly focused on evaluation of the RPRL and GUN projects. This report discusses the methodology, study results and key findings of Part 1 and Part 2 respectively. The report concludes with a combined conclusion section, and provides a holistic overview of the results and benefits from those key infrastructure projects. The results can also assist to determine the effectiveness of past investments, inform future investments, and benchmark performance.
