Evans Road Upgrade

Overview

We’re upgrading Evans Road from 2 to 4 lanes between Duff Street and Central Parkway in Cranbourne West.

The upgrade aims to:

• reduce travel times and congestion
• improve safety
• increase capacity to accommodate increasing traffic volumes.

Planning

Planning for the upgrade is underway and key activities include:

• developing a detailed project design
• detailed traffic analysis and modelling, to better understand the future growth of the area and the demand this will place on the road network
• investigations to test ground conditions and map utility services
• environmental investigations to understand flora, fauna and tree species.

Construction timelines will be known once our planning has progressed further.

Site investigations

To help inform our planning, a range of site investigations will be undertaken. At times, we may need to implement traffic control measures, including temporary lane closures, stop/slow traffic and reduced speeds. Traffic disruption will be kept to a minimum and busy periods will be avoided, where possible.
