Craigieburn locals can get a glimpse into the future after the release of a new artist impression of the Craigieburn Road-Hume Highway intersection.

The artist’s impression shows the integration of surrounding urban landscape, new cycling and walking paths, and the new traffic signals at the Hardy Avenue intersection.

Residents can also access a high-resolution 3D animation on the project’s website to understand how traffic will flow through the upgraded roads.

Major Road Projects Victoria program director Dipal Sorathia said locals in Craigieburn are able to get an idea of what their new intersection will look like now the barriers have been removed and the artist impression has been released.

“This artist’s impression shows just how transformative these intersections will be for the community,” she said.

The Hume Highway intersection is one of seven to be upgraded on Craigieburn Road between Mickleham Road and Hume Highway – with traffic lights to be added to Balyang Way, Dorchester Street and Cimberwood Drive, while roundabouts will be replaced with traffic lights at Waterview Boulevard and Hardy Avenue.

The Craigieburn Road upgrade is scheduled to be fully completed in 2025.
