GLENLOCH INTERCHANGE
This is the most well-known interchange in Canberra, where the Tuggeranong Parkway and Pakres Way meet William Hovell Drive. It was constructed in the 1970's when Parkes Way and Tuggeranong Parkway were both being constructed. The interchange is badly designed with right-hand exits and a crossover movement served by traffic signals. It will need to be reconstructed in the future, and may even be reconstructed as part of the Gungahlin Dr Extension which will only bring more traffic to the interchange.
