A key intersection in Kalkallo will close for two weeks as part of works to build a new left turn lane onto the Hume Freeway.
The intersection of Donnybrook Road and Mitchell Street will be closed from 7pm on September 15 until 5am on September 29.
The closure will be in place 24 hours a day, with detours in place for traffic travelling from Kalkallo and Mickleham.
Kalkallo MP Ros Spence said the works were part of the state government’s $6 million Donnybrook Road and Mitchell Street Improvement Project.
New lighting, lane resurfacing, widening of the freeway on ramp and other modifications will provide safer, smoother journeys and make access to the Hume Freeway easier for locals, commuters, and freight operators.
“Our investment into the Donnybrook Road and Mitchell Street Improvement Project will improve access to the Hume Freeway and eliminate those dreaded queues on Donnybrook Road and Dwyer Street,” Ms Spence said.
“Whilst this short blitz will be frustrating for residents, it avoids months of partial closures which would add to the already extensive delays.”
“This project will provide relief for residents while I continue to advocate for the signalisation of this intersection and the duplication of Donnybrook Road.”
Questions about the project can be directed to Major Road Projects Victoria on 1800 105 105 or for languages other than English 9209 0147.
