Work has started on the duplication of Aitken Boulevard in Craigieburn.
Hume council is duplicating the road between Grand and Marathon boulevards in a bid to reduce congestion.
The project will include extra lanes in each direction, upgrades to existing intersections and traffic lights, the installation of
new traffic lights , the replacement of a roundabout with traffic lights and the construction of new pedestrian crossing facilities.
Council said the work will be delivered in stages to minimise disruption.
The intersection of Aitken Boulevard and Grevillea Street will be closed until September 19, with detours in place.
Motorists are advised to use Marathon or Brookfield boulevards to access Aitken Boulevard during the closure.
Works are scheduled to be completed in 2023.
