As a near-final milestone, the last set of traffic lights have been turned on for the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road project.
Major Road Projects Victoria program director Marc Peterson said it was the 10th and final intersection upgrade ahead of the completion of major works in coming weeks.
“Our last new traffic light was switched on last week, further increasing connections for Berwick-Cranbourne Road and Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road.
“This will enable easier access for staff and visitors to make navigating the new-look precinct safe and simple. “
The project includes almost 10 kilometres of new lanes, providing two lanes in each direction from South Gippsland Highway to Heatherton Road.
Roundabouts were replaced with signalised intersections to ease congestion, with sequenced traffic lights to provide more reliable travel times as well as easier access for emergency services.
The upgrade provided more than nine kilometres of shared walking and cycling paths as well as traffic signal crossing points for a better connection to educational institutions, Casey Stadium, Casey RACE and the Cranbourne main street.
New service roads were also built for safer access from local streets.
