The Craigieburn Road upgrade is a step closer to being completed, with new lanes opened between Lygon Drive and Hanson Road.
As part of the upgrade, signalised pedestrian crossings have also been installed along Craigieburn Road at Lygon Drive, Dorchester Street, Cimberwood Drive and Hanson Road.
Shared walking and cycling paths on Craigieburn Road between Aitken Boulevard and Walters Street have also been completed, while the Craigieburn Road entry and exit points to Craigieburn Central shopping centre have re-opened.
Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) said pedestrians and cyclists are benefitting from safer crossing points.
“The newly completed shared use path also allows pedestrians and cyclists to travel alongside Craigieburn Road safely. These new paths are now connected all the way from Mickleham Road, Craigieburn Junction, Craigieburn Central and Craigieburn Plaza shopping centre,“ MPRV said.
Over the September school holidays, a section of Craigieburn Road between Walters Street and Hardy Avenue will be closed from 9pm, Sunday, September until Sunday, October 6 to rebuild the pavement.
Tmanagement, lane closures and detours will be in place during the works.
MRPV program director Dipal Sorathia said the uprgade will provide much-needed capacity improvement to Craigieburn Road.
“We thank motorists for their patience while we get these works done,“ he said.
The upgrade is expected to be completed next year.
