We've turned on the last set of traffic lights for the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade, completing the 10th and final intersection upgrade on the project.
Crews switched on the lights as part of works on Berwick-Cranbourne Road to create greater access to the new facility once it opens later this year.
The project has delivered almost 10 kilometres of new lanes, with motorists now able to enjoy seamless journeys with 2 lanes in each direction all the way from South Gippsland Highway to Heatherton Road, following the 2023 completion of the Narre Warren North Road Upgrade.
Replacing roundabouts along Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road with traffic lights at intersections will ease congestion, with sequenced traffic lights in the area to provide more reliable travel times for locals and easier access for emergency service vehicles travelling through the area.
The Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade now features more than 9 kilometres of shared walking and cycling paths as well as safer crossing points at traffic lights, providing a better connection to the nearby residents and educational institutions, Casey Stadium, Casey RACE and the Cranbourne main street shopping area.
We’ve also built new service roads making it safer and easier to access Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road from local streets.
As we near completion of major works, this project, alongside the Hall Road Upgrade and recent upgrades to Thompsons Road and Western Port Highway will make it easier and safer for you to move around Cranbourne.
Upcoming disruptions:
Until October 2024, there will be ad-hoc lane closures and speed reductions in place to complete minor work.
