During construction, access to some businesses will change so we can keep Racecourse Road and Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road open to motorists while we build the signalised intersection and new lanes.
Once the upgrade is complete, some business access will be changed to left in and left out only.
Access to businesses on Bald Hill Road between Webster Way and Racecourse Road/Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road
From early July until early-October, Bald Hill Road is closed at the intersection west of Racecourse Road/Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road so we can build the western half of the upgraded intersection.
To access businesses on Bald Hill Road between Webster Way and the roundabout, detour via Webster Way or Main Street.
Access to businesses on the east side of Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road between Peet Street and Bald Hill Road
From 20 August to late 2025, we’ll change access to businesses on Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road so we can build new southbound lanes on Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road between Bald Hill Road and Peet Street.
During this time you can access local businesses via O’Sullivan Street.
Access to McDonald’s and West Gippsland Auto Electrics will be maintained from Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road during these works.
When we upgrade main roads by adding new lanes, it’s important to restrict where cars can turn right across multiple lanes into or out of driveways and side roads.
These changes improve safety for road users, by preventing drivers from attempting risky and uncontrolled movements and improve traffic flow by directing traffic to controlled intersections to turn.
When the upgrade is complete, some property access will be changed to left in and left out only. Right turns and u-turns will only be allowed at the traffic light intersections at Railway Avenue and Bald Hill Road, or the signalised u-turn bay south of Peet Street to travel north on Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road.
