The Government will provide $144.0 million over five years (including $20.0 million in 2015‑16) as a contribution towards the upgrade of the Majura Parkway in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

Completion of the Majura Parkway project will connect the Federal Highway and Monaro Highway with a divided dual carriageway and enable better access to the Canberra International Airport and industrial estates in the ACT and regional areas of New South Wales. This development will remove bottlenecks that currently limit efficient freight movement, ease local traffic movement, and provide a safer road for the community.

Funding for this measure will be provided from the Building Australia Fund and will match a contribution from the ACT Government.
