Glenloch Interchange is Canberra's only major interchange which connects Tuggeranong Parkway with Parkes Way, William Hovell Drive and Caswell Drive (Gungahlin Drive Extension). Following a major reconstruction lasting from 2007 to mid 2008, the interchange now operates without traffic lights. A surprising feature was the retention of an unused bridge from the previous alignment which led from the centre of the Parkes Way/Caswell Drive loop, passing east over two northbound roads, before petering out to the east. This was finally removed in late 2010 during roadworks to upgrade the new interchange to dual carriageway standards.
The interchange is colloquially known as "Gridloch Interchange" during peak usage.

Famous quotes containing the word interchange:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
