VICROADS has advised motorists to plan ahead and expect delays due to a number of road closures across Casey while upgrade works are underway.
Access to Hallam Road, from Somerville Road in Hampton Park, was closed this week and will remain in place for about three months.
Traffic travelling on Hallam Road will be diverted onto the new southbound lanes over the newly completed creek crossing. Local detours will also be in place and will be signposted.
Traffic travelling on Somerville Road and wanting to access Hallam Road will be detoured via Stuart Street and Fordholm Road.
The Hampton Park Shopping Centre will remain open and all access points will operate as per usual.
VicRoads has also advised drivers of the temporary closure of the intersection of Ormond Road and Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, Narre Warren.
The closure will take place from 7pm on Saturday 21 June until 7pm on Sunday 13 July.
Works at the site will occur between 7am and 5pm from Monday to Saturday, although the closure will remain in place at all times.
Ormond Road access will be temporarily closed.
Traffic can continue to use Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Littlecroft Avenue and drivers will be able to access Ormond Road properties from the west.
During the closure, drivers are advised to use Glasscocks Road or Pound Road to enter and exit Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road.
The detour route will be signposted to guide drivers and there will be speed limit reductions through the work zone.
Pedestrian access in some areas throughout the work zone will also be restricted and alternative arrangements in place for pedestrians and cyclists.
Details about these works can be found on the ‘Roadworks and planned events’ page on the VicRoads website at www.vicroads.vic.gov.au.
