From 5am, Monday 19 January until late 2026, we’ll close McGrath Road north at Ballan Road to build half of the new intersection.
Building the intersection in halves enables us to keep traffic flowing on Ballan Road for the majority of construction.
During this time, vehicles will not be able to enter McGrath Road north from Ballan Road or exit from McGrath Road north onto Ballan Road.
Access to homes will be maintained by Ballan, Bolton and McGrath north roads.
Access to shops will be maintained by Ballan Road. There will be detours in place for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles to help you move around the area.
Works are subject to weather conditions. We will provide updated information via SMS and on-road signage if we need to reschedule.
How will this work affect you?
You may notice an increase in noise, dust and vibration at times from our construction equipment and vehicles. We’ll monitor impacts and do our best to keep them to a minimum.
From 5am, Monday 19 January until late 2026, McGrath Road north will be closed at the Ballan Road roundabout.
Detours will be in place via Ballan and Bolton roads. Delays of up to 20 minutes are expected. Please plan ahead.
From early February, drivers will begin using the temporary roundabout that we’ve built. From this time:
- There will be no right turn from McGrath Road south onto Ballan Road towards Werribee: Turn left onto Ballan Road from McGrath Road south, then use the temporary roundabout to turn back towards Werribee. See the detour map below for details.
As part of these works, the access from Ballan Road to the Ballan Road service road for Windsor Avenue will be closed. A new access point to the Ballan Road service road from Ballan Road will be built 50 metres away from the existing access, as part of the final design. While we build the new access point to the Ballan Road service road, residents should use side streets via Bolton Road and the McGrath Road service road to reach their properties.
