Mt Alexander Road Intersection Upgrades

Overview

We’re planning for upgrades to two intersections in Essendon:

• Mt Alexander Road and Napier, Fletcher, and Russell streets
• Mt Alexander, Bulla, Keilor, and Lincoln roads.

We’re exploring options to:

• improve safety for road users
• make it easier for all road users to move through the area
• improve active and public transport connections.

Planning and development

We’re currently undertaking planning and development work to inform the Mt Alexander Road Intersection Upgrades. This includes traffic modelling, engineering designs, constructability assessments, economic modelling, community engagement and environmental investigations.

This work will allow us to understand potential environmental impacts, prepare design options and estimate the costs of different options.

This project is currently in the planning phase and our work will be used to inform government decisions on funding for future intersection upgrades. We expect our initial planning work will be complete in late 2025.

Community feedback

From 24 March to 13 April 2025, we asked for community feedback via online surveys and comment pins on an interactive map on Engage Victoria to help inform our planning.

We’ll share a summary of feedback received later this year.
