Motorists should allow for an additional 20 minutes of travel time when travelling through the affected area to account for detours across the Hume Highway, Mickleham Road and Somerton Road heading south or Mt Ridley Road to the north.

Buses on routes 525, 528, 529, 532, 533, 537, 541, 544, 390 and 953 should also expect delays due to the closures.

During these closures, crews will relocate and install drainage, water, signals and power utilities between Hanson Road and Aitken Boulevard.

The entire Craigieburn Road upgrade is scheduled for completion by 2025.
