Next stage of the Griffith Southern Industrial Link Road to commence

Published on 25 June 2025

Griffith City Council is preparing to progress the next stage of the Griffith Southern Industrial Link (GSIL), with works set to begin on Kurrajong Avenue in July 2025.

This important upgrade will include road rehabilitation and widening, helping to improve traffic flow and safety for vehicles accessing the growing industrial precinct.

Preliminary works, including tree removal, will be carried out in the lead-up to construction.

Council will be closing the full length of the road, rather than operating in stages.  This will provide motorists with the same detour for the full duration of works.

Griffith City Council’s Director Infrastructure and Operations, Phil King, said the Kurrajong Avenue stage is an essential step in supporting the city’s future industrial development.

“This work is part of our long-term vision to ensure the Griffith Southern Industrial Link is fit-for-purpose and able to support future traffic demands,” Mr King said.

The GSIL serves as a designated Heavy Vehicle Route designed to bypass Griffith’s CBD and urban areas, ensuring a safer and more efficient path for heavy vehicles. By redirecting heavy vehicle traffic to roads specifically constructed for their use, the project aims to reduce wear and tear on urban roads, improve safety, and enhance the overall quality of Griffith’s road network.

Council would like to thank the community for their patience during construction and will provide updates as the project progresses.
