The first stage of the Mickleham Road upgrade is expected to be completed in January 2025 – six months ahead of schedule.
Once complete, the upgrade will provide extra lanes in each direction between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard, new traffic lights at Aitken College, upgraded intersections at Hillview Road and Dellamore Boulevard, and a new intersection at Somerton Road.
The state government said that in the first half of this year, the intersections at Greenvale Gardens Boulevard and Aitken College have been upgraded, while traffic has moved nto new northbound lanes between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard, and construction of the southbound lanes has started.
Transport Infrastructure Minister Danny Pearson said locals will enjoy more reliable journeys, improved travel times and reduced congestion.
Finishing works, including landscaping, will get under way after major works are completed and new lanes are opened in traffic.
Greenvale MP Iwan Walters thanked that community for its patience during the works.
