Works are due to start on upgrades to the intersection at Mickleham Road and Greenvale Gardens Boulevard as part of stage one of the Mickleham Road duplication.

The intersection improvements will include new traffic lanterns, street lighting, road pavement, kerbs, drainage and a shared path for walking and cycling.

Greenvale Gardens Boulevard will be closed at Mickleham Road from January 15 until mid-March as part of the upgrades.

A signed detour will divert drivers via Lemonwood and Blossom drives during the closure.

People are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time during the closure.

Major Road Projects Victoria program director Adrian Furner said works are progressing well and they thank drivers and the community for their patience as we continue with major works.

Stage one of the upgrade is building extra lanes in each direction between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard which is set to be completed in 2025.

Planning and development work is underway to inform the potential Mickleham Road Upgrade – Stage 2, between Dellamore Boulevard and Craigieburn Road.
