Residednts in Melbourne’s north are being urged to have their say as planning ramps up for major upgrades to Donnybrook Road, a key arterial that’s long struggled under the pressure of population growth and bottlenecked traffic.
Two separate projects are now underway that could reshape how residents and businesses move through the fast-growing corridor.
Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) is developing plans to upgrade the notorious Donnybrook Road and Mitchell Street intersection in Kalkallo– replacing the roundabout with traffic lights, building a new bridge over Kalkallo Creek, adding lanes, and installing safety barriers.
Meanwhile, planning continues for a broader upgrade between Mickleham Road and Epping Road, where options include adding lanes, upgrading intersections, removing the Donnybrook Road level crossing, and introducing shared cycling and walking paths.
“Residents and businesses are encouraged to have their say to help inform our planning for upgrades of Donnybrook Road between Mickleham Road and Epping Road,” MRPVacting program director of development Paramvir Singh said.
“We want to hear from the people and businesses who use Donnybrook Road. We want to know any concerns you have and what we should consider in our planning to help ensure the upgrades deliver the best outcome for the community.”
