We've completed major construction on the Narre Warren North Road Upgrade.
All lanes have been reopened on Narre Warren North Road, including the newly duplicated section between Belgrave-Hallam and Fox roads, as well as the newly upgraded Memorial Drive intersection and U-turn.
New asphalting and the installation of the new Memorial Drive traffic lights capped off the last significant construction works on the project which started in late-2021.
The project added extra lanes between Belgrave-Hallam Road and Fox Road, upgraded intersections at Heatherton Road, Ernst Wanke Road and Memorial Drive, and improved walking and cycling facilities. We also rebuilt the existing culvert over Troups Creek to protect the natural habitat of the creek after the expansion of the existing bridge.
Finishing works including landscaping, signage installation and concreting works will take place over the coming months. At times there will be an off-peak lane closure to enable these works.
This upgrade mitigates the frequency of crashes on Narre Warren North Road, with the frequency of crashes between Fox and Belgrave-Hallam roads experiencing twice the average of the entire outer south east metropolitan road network.
This completed project will improve safety for all road users and improve traffic flow along the entire road corridor across these busy areas connecting to the Monash Freeway, Ernst Wanke Road, Fountain Gate Shopping Centre, and the Princes Highway.
The project has also improved active transport options by upgrading existing and building new walking and cycling paths and providing better public transport connections.
