Since January, we’ve been working behind safety barriers to build the northern half of the new intersection. This has allowed traffic to keep flowing on Ballan Road while construction continues.
To keep building the intersection towards Werribee, we’ll close the Ballan Road driveway to the shops.
The Ballan Road driveway to the shop will be closed from 5am Friday 27 March until late 2026.
At the same time, the McGrath Road north shop driveway will re-open. To visit the eateries, fill up at the BP, or wash your car or dog, please enter via McGrath Road north until later in 2026.
McGrath Road north will remain closed at Ballan Road until late 2026. This update affects shop access only.
What we’re doing and when
To do these works, we’ll install safety barriers at the Ballan Road driveway during night works on Thursday 26 March.
To safely install the barriers overnight, we’ll temporarily close the following roads from 9pm Thursday 26 March to 5am Friday 27 March:
- McGrath Road south at Ballan Road
- Ballan Road between the roundabout and Kimberley Road.
The following detours will be in place:
- Eastbound: via Ballan, Bolton and Heaths roads and Greaves Street north
- Westbound: via Ballan, Hooker, Rowes and Bolton roads
- Local access: Cambridge Crescent and Honour Avenue.
Please allow an additional 10 minutes of travel time during these overnight works. Access to homes will be maintained via detours and traffic controller assistance.
Access the BP and shops by using the McGrath Road north driveway via detours. Please see night works map below.
Works are subject to weather. If we need to reschedule, we’ll share updates via SMS and on-road signage.
