 The Majura Parkway will traverse the length of the largely rural Majura Valley within the ACT , providing a parkway standard link between the northern terminus of the Monaro Highway in territory 's east and the Federal Highway at the north close to the New South Wales border . The parkway largely replaces Majura Road , which is now the main route through the valley and carries approximately 18 @,@ 000 vehicles each day . This road is single carriageway , and rural in design and quality ; the need for the replacement with a more efficient , higher capacity roadway has been highlighted in several studies . Majura Road will remain largely intact to serve local traffic to various facilities located in the Majura Valley , multiple rural properties and Canberra Airport 's business precinct . Other benefits of the Majura Parkway include more efficient freight transportation , relieving traffic congestion , supporting future growth of Canberra Airport , and easier movement between Canberra 's northern and southern suburbs .
