New operating hours for Redoubt Road dynamic lanes

About the Redoubt Road dynamic lanes

Since they launched in 2020, the Redoubt Road dynamic lanes have provided much-needed time savings to travellers from the Southern Motorway. Travel times have reduced by as much as 54%.

The dynamic lanes on Redoubt Road work by using the middle lane as an additional lane during peak times.

New operating hours coming soon

We’ve noticed Redoubt Road is getting busier earlier on weekday afternoons. To help manage congestion and save motorists precious time on their journey, we are planning to start the dynamic lanes earlier.

The new operating hours will change from their current 3:30pm-7pm time to 2pm-7pm, Monday-Friday.

Keeping the road clear ahead of the change

Before we can change the operating hours, we first need to install no stopping at all times broken yellow lines on a stretch of Redoubt Road between properties 25 and 57. Painting of broken yellow lines will happen soon.

This change is important because it will help ensure parked cars do not disrupt traffic flow when the new operating hours go into effect. It will also make this part of Redoubt Road consistent with the rest of the dynamic lanes' road space. All the other parts of Redoubt Road in this area already have broken yellow lines.

Design drawings on this page show exactly where we’re placing the new broken yellow lines.

What happens next

We expect to install the new broken yellow lines in early June. We'll then proceed with the time change shortly after. We'll notify the community about the time change as soon as we have a confirmed go-live date.

We'll keep this page updated with the most current information about the project. Check back here for updates.
