Works on the Narre Warren North Road Upgrade are ramping up as Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) prepare for a busy year of construction in 2022.
This January, works on the new Narre Warren North Road northbound carriageway and the Heatherton Road intersection upgrade are set to begin.
This includes building a dedicated right turn lane from Heatherton Road onto Belgrave-Hallam Road northbound and installing two new bus bays on Narre Warren North Road, north of Heatherton Road.
The MRPV team will begin upgrading the shared walking and cycling path on the western side of Narre Warren North Road between Memorial Drive and Heatherton Road, as well as clearing vegetation and removing some trees in preparation for the start of earthworks along the northbound carriageway between Fox Road and Belgrave Hallam Road.
Safety barriers will be placed along the western side of Narre Warren North Road, allowing crews to work safely behind barriers and keeping the existing road open.
Most works will take place between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday and 7am to 1pm on Saturdays but night works may apply with advance notice given to residents, to minimise impacts on traffic or utility services.
MRPV finished asphalting the new U-turn bay at Belgrave-Hallam Road and were able to remove safety barriers and open the road before the Christmas break.
Asphalt was placed on the southbound lane near Fox Road to keep one lane open in each direction when widening works start in January.
Ashphalt was also placed on Narre Warren North Road near Memorial Drive to create a safe place where the MRPV team can work whilst works are underway.
From the end of January to the end of March, the eastbound lanes on Heatherton Road will be closed at the Belgrave-Hallam Road intersection.
Detours will be in place via Narre Warren North Road and Memorial Drive or Belgrave-Hallam and A’Beckett roads.
The shared walking and cycling path will be closed between Fox and Heatherton roads and pedestrians and cyclists will need to detour via Randle Court and Heatherton Road.
