From 7pm, Wednesday 6 August until mid-October, we’ll close Lyndarum Drive at Epping Road and Epping Road service road, so we can safely upgrade the intersection.
During this time, we’ll:
- upgrade existing lanes, kerbs and medians
- install new drainage and a new traffic island
- build new turning lanes in and out of Lyndarum Drive
- build sections of the new southbound lanes on Epping Road
- add new traffic lights and public lighting.
Detour routes have been planned to maintain access to Lyndarum Drive and the Epping North Shopping Centre. The following detours will be in place until mid-October:
- Northbound traffic: Use O’Herns Road, Taggerty Grove, and Linfield Parade
- Southbound traffic: Use Craigieburn Road East, De Rossi Boulevard, or O’Herns Road.
Delays of up to 15 minutes are expected. Clear signage and traffic management will be in place to guide drivers along these detours. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.
Car parking will be available via Northfields, Mansfield, and Kyabram streets and on both sides of Lyndarum Drive.
