Doreen’s Painted Hills Road has reopened after the works on the Bridge Road Inn intersection were completed.
Part of the Bridge Inn Road upgrade, improvements included an upgraded road surface along with new turning lanes, kerbs, drainage and sections of walking and cycling path.
The road reopened on June 28.
The Bridge Inn Road upgrade is adding additional lanes in both directions between Plenty and Yan Yean roads.
Further improvements include upgrades to important intersections and the construction of safety barriers and shared walking and cycling paths to improve safety.
As part of the upgrades, a new bridge has been built over the Plenty River, with the 157-year-old already existing heritage bridge being repurposed as a dedicated path for cyclists and walkers.
Major Road Projects Victoria program director Dipal Sorathia said the improvements are vital to improving congestion and the safety of the roads.
“We’re pleased to have completed major works to improve the Painted Hills Road intersection as part of the Bridge Inn Road upgrade,” he said.
“The improvements at the intersection will make a big contribution toward achieving the upgrade’s goal of helping drivers get home sooner and safer.
