The Gungahlin Drive Extension (GDE) is a crucial link in Canberra's transport network, responding to the need of Gungahlin's growing population, to meet over time the traffic demands of a population in Gungahlin of 100,000 with a Canberra population of approximately 400,000. The nine kilometre road is a link the Barton Highway at Gungahlin Drive with the Tuggeranong Parkway at the Glenloch Interchange.

The GDE provides a transportation route that integrates with its environment. It provides an attractive driving experience with easy accessibility.

These photos were taken during the opening of the Glenloch Interchange on Monday 7 April. The Glenloch Interchange is the final chapter in the Gungahlin Drive Extension. Work has been very productive in the past 12 months with the final stage of the GDE completed two months ahead of schedule.

Many people in TAMS have worked hard to ensure the Glenloch Interchange development was running on time. It was great to see the positive outcome of a lot of hard work, with motorists already praising the new section of road.
