The ACT Government has released the transport update to the ACT Infrastructure Plan, outlining work completed since 2019 and further short, medium and long-term investments in the Territory\u2019s transport system.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The release of the\u00a0ACT Infrastructure Plan Update:\u00a0Transport<\/a>\u00a0outlines projects the Government will continue to invest in to make it easier for Canberrans to get from A to B, whether on foot or by bicycle, car, bus or light rail.<\/p>\n

This includes the extension of the light rail<\/a> network south through the city to Commonwealth Park, the National Triangle and on to Woden.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the ACT Government is continuing to deliver the job-creating infrastructure<\/a> and services for a growing Canberra.<\/p>\n

“The release of the latest ACT Infrastructure Plan sector update reinforces our commitment to increase transport options for Canberrans, now and into the future,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This includes one-in-a-generation projects like Canberra\u2019s light rail network, as well as significant upgrades across our suburbs.”<\/p>\n

Other initiatives include the Garden City and Kingston Cycleways, the Molonglo River Bridge, and road upgrades right across Canberra.<\/p>\n

Minister for Transport Chris Steel said the ACT Government envisions a transport system that supports a liveable, sustainable and connected city with flexible and reliable journey options.<\/p>\n

“We understand Canberrans need a range of transport options to suit their needs, whether travelling by public transport, car, bike or on foot \u2013 or a combination of these,” he said.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s why we\u2019re investing in a range of projects to increase choice and accessibility, while reducing traffic congestion and emissions.<\/p>\n

“Significant projects, like the expansion of our light rail network, will ensure our city has the infrastructure and services Canberrans rely on, now and for years to come.<\/p>\n

The release of the transport sector update is intended to deliver the transport options needed for our growing city, which is on track to reach 500,000 people by 2027.<\/p>\n
