In January 2026, we started working behind safety barriers to build the northern half of the new intersection. This allowed traffic to keep flowing on Ballan Road while construction continued.
From Monday 22 June, we moved to the next stage of major works and started building the southern side of the new intersection.
At 5am, Monday 9 November, we'll open the new traffic-light-controlled intersection at Ballan, Greens and McGrath roads, 3 months ahead of schedule.
To prepare for the opening, we’ll close the intersection overnight on Thursday 5 November and over the weekend from the night of Friday 6 November to the morning of Monday 9 November.
After the intersection opens, we’ll remotely monitor and adjust green time to help traffic flow better while drivers become familiar with the new layout. Please take extra care and follow signs when travelling through the intersection.
After the new intersection opens, we’ll complete the final asphalt layer and permanent line-marking. To do this we’ll close sections of road from mid November to late November, 8pm to 5am each night.
Some lane and night closures will continue until early 2027 while we complete finishing works, including street lighting, landscaping, medians and walking and cycling paths.
