Residents of Greenvale’s Aspect and Providence estates are celebrating a long-overdue connection, with a new road link finally bridging the gap between the two communities.
The fresh link between Montenegro Road and Horizon Boulevard means locals can now drive, walk or cycle between the estates with ease–and emergency services have a faster route too.
The project, delivered by Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV), was fast-tracked in response to community feedback and aims to boost both connectivity and safety.
“We’re excited to have provided the long-awaited connection between Aspect and Providence estates in Greenvale as part of the Mickleham Road upgrade– stage one,” MRPV program director Dipal Sorathia said.
“By connecting Montenegro Road and Horizon Boulevard, we’ve delivered improved access to both estates while also providing emergency vehicles with alternative access, which will enhance safety for residents.”
Stage one of the upgrade also included additional lanes in both directions along Mickleham Road, upgraded intersections between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard, and the construction of shared-use paths to improve walking and cycling access between Greenvale and Mernda.
Major works were completed in December –more than six months ahead of schedule.
