We’ve finalised the design for the Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade. More than 30,000 vehicles travel through the roundabout at Ballan, Greens, and McGrath roads every day, making it one of the busiest and most congested intersections in Wyndham Vale.
Community and business feedback in early 2023 showed that 94% of community respondents and 91% of business respondents supported the upgrade. The top response for community concerns for the current intersection were traffic congestion and road user and pedestrian safety.
The upgrade will relieve the traffic congestion at this intersection and make it easier for you to travel through the intersection on Ballan Road between Manor Lakes and Werribee.
As part of the upgrade, we’ll replace the roundabout at Ballan Road, Greens Road, and McGrath Road north with traffic lights and add extra lanes through the intersection.
New traffic lights will also be installed at Ballan Road and McGrath Road south near the 7-Eleven to make it easier to turn right towards Werribee.
The Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade will include a new priority bus lane heading towards Manor Lakes to support more reliable public transport.
We’ll also install new pedestrian crossings and shared walking and cycling paths to make it safer and easier to access nearby schools, food outlets, medical clinics, and service stations.
With the design now finalised, construction planning is underway. A contract to build the upgrade will be awarded soon.
From late 2025, we’ll begin preparing the site for major construction, starting with utility relocations and site setup. Major works will begin in early 2026.
