Stage one
Ipsen Street from Mottram Street to Giblett Street was reopened, after nearly 40 years, in June 2015. Traffic counts conducted in the months that followed its reopening indicated that an average of 1700 vehicles per day are utilising the Ipsen Street connection, enabling much improved functionality for the central business district.
