Major works at a key Doreen intersection are set to boost the Bridge Inn Road upgrade’s goal of helping drivers get home sooner and safer.
The Bridge Inn Road project team is moving onto its next major intersection upgrade, with Painted Hills Road one of the last remaining intersections to be upgraded as part of the project.
To allow crews to safely complete the upgrade works, Painted Hills Road will close at Bridge Inn Road from March 4 until late June.
The works at Painted Hills Road will deliver new turning lanes, kerbs and drainage, remove existing medians, upgrade the road surface and build sections of new shared walking and cycling path.
Detours for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists will be in place via Bassets, Cookes and Yan Yean roads. People are encouraged to plan their journeys and allow additional travel time.
Bridge Inn Road will remain open while the intersection is upgraded.
Crews will make every effort to minimise other impacts during the works, including noise, dust and vibrations, and local residents should expect to see an increased presence of workers, construction vehicles and equipment.
The Bridge Inn Road Upgrade is adding extra lanes in both directions between Plenty and Yan Yean roads.
Major Road Projects Victoria program director Adrian Furner said they’re looking forward to starting major works to improve the Painted Hills Road intersection.
“Once fully complete, the improvements will make a big contribution toward helping drivers get home sooner and safer,” he said.
“We thank local residents and businesses for their patience as we complete these important works for all the road’s users.”
