Removing 50 dangerous and congested level crossings across Melbourne
Overview
We’re upgrading the Chandler Highway to improve traffic flow and provide smoother journeys in Melbourne’s inner north. The $110 million upgrade involves widening Chandler Highway and building a second bridge next to the existing one.
As part of the upgrade, we’re:
- widening Chandler Highway to six lanes
- building a new bridge to the west of the existing bridge
- upgrading the Heidelberg Road and Chandler Highway intersection
- upgrading the Yarra Boulevard/Guide Dogs Victoria and Chandler Highway intersection
- installing new traffic lights at the Chandler Highway and Yarra Boulevard intersection
- turning the original 126-year-old bridge into a walking and cycling path
- building safer bicycle and pedestrian paths that connect to the Main Yarra Trail
- landscaping around the Yarra River
- improving storm water drainage and lighting.
Work started in 2017 with the project to be completed in late 2018.
