Full funding has been announced for the Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade in a big step toward smoother and safer travel through Wyndham Vale.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King visited Melbourne’s west on Thursday 23 January to announce a joint funding arrangement.
The governments will invest up to $333.5 million to deliver the Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade and the nearby Werribee Main Road and Princes Freeway Interchange Upgrade in Werribee.
The 2 projects are expected to create a combined 1624 jobs, with Major Road Projects Victoria to deliver both.
The intersection upgrade will replace the current roundabout with traffic lights at the intersection of McGrath, Ballan and Greens roads, add traffic lights at the intersection of Ballan Road and McGrath Road south, and build better walking and cycling paths to improve connectivity and safety.
The intersection upgrade is part of the $674 million Road Blitz to Get Families Home Sooner and Safer Package.
Planning work is continuing as the Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade moves towards construction.
Construction timelines will be known once our planning has progressed further.
