Victorians are being asked to prepare for disruptions on six road intersections as well as on the Frankston Line this in the coming months as work begins.
Works will include the completion of major construction on the Western Port Highway and the Golf Links Road roundabout as part of the $25 billion in Big Build investment in the South East, as well as continued works on the Narre Warren North road, and South Road Upgrades.
Construction is underway to build new southbound lanes on the Narre Warren North Road Upgrade.
Memorial Drive will be closed until the end of September while crews work to upgrade the intersection.
Works to upgrade the Crawley Road and Brundett Road intersections will also begin this spring.
The Hallam North and Heatherton Road Upgrades continue with a partial closure of Hallam North Road at the Heatherton Road intersection from Friday 26 August through to Monday 12 September.
The project will add an extra lane between Heatherton Road and James Cook Drive, upgraded intersections and new walking and cycling paths.
As part of the Pound Road West Upgrade, outbound turning lanes on the South Gippsland Highway in Dandenong South between Carter Way and Pound Road West will be closed for two weeks in October.
The new intersection at Frankston-Dandenong, Lathams and Hall roads will reopen to traffic in all directions in late October as part of the Lathams Road Upgrade.
The upgraded intersection includes additional through and turning lanes providing improved connectivity within the area and to the surrounding freeway network.
Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan says it’s all part of the biggest investment in transport infrastructure in the state’s history.
“The Big Build upgrades show we are getting on with the job of delivering better roads and rail infrastructure for the South East,” Ms Allan said.
“These upgrades not only deliver improved safety outcomes and travel times for users but also represent investment in the future growth of the area and support thousands of Victorian jobs”
Victorians are asked to check for delays before they travel at bigbuild.vic.gov.au, as well as continue to wear a mask while on public transport.
