The Cranbourne and Pakenham lines are boom gate free and trains are running through the Metro Tunnel. We’re continuing construction on a new road under the rail line, connecting Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads. The new road underpass will open later this year – 2 years ahead of schedule.

To improve safety and traffic flow for vehicles travelling through the area, there will be changes to the intersection of Kirkham and Frankston-Dandneong roads from Monday 16 February.

What we’re doing

We’ll temporarily change Kirkham Road eastbound to left turn only onto Frankston-Dandenong Road from Monday 16 February to late 2026.

Vehicles wanting to turn right to travel south on Frankston-Dandenong Road or continue straight onto Kirkham Road will need to turn left and make a U-turn at the intersection of Frankston-Dandenong Road and Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street.

What to expect

• Kirkham Road eastbound will change to left turn only onto Frankston-Dandenong Road, with the right turn and straight traffic movements removed..
• Detour signage and traffic management in place to guide drivers safely through the area.
• Access will be maintained at all times for businesses, residents and emergency services.
• Increased noise and workers in the area while bollards are installed.

We’ll make every effort to complete works on schedule; however, dates and times are subject to change.
