Construction of a new intersection joining Riviera Drive and Old Beach Road is now complete, operational, and open for use. The intersection, constructed by the developer of Tivoli Green Estate, was a requirement of their permit, to make sure there were multiple access points to the estate.

Increasing residential development in this area, which creates a greater number of cars in the area, drives demand for more efficient roads, intersections, and entry points. The work was completed prior to the scheduled opening date and without incident. Council and the developer thank commuters for their patience during road closures.

This intersection offers residents of Tivoli Green Estate and Old Beach the opportunity to travel north or south via Old Beach Road avoiding peak traffic delays on the East Derwent Highway. It was designed not only to provide estate exit options but to ensure motorists experience reduced intersection wait times and safer connectivity onto the East Derwent Highway further north or south. Being constructed to the latest safety standards, motorists will find it a pleasure to use.

Please note, there’s a 70kph speed limit on this part of Old Beach Road and 50kph residential default speed limit within built up areas applicable to Tivoli Green. Council will continue to monitor the operation of this and other intersections to undertake any changes deemed beneficial to safety and efficiency. We invite Tivoli Green Estate residents and visitors to consider this entry and exit point for their next journey.
