Overview
The Point Cook Road and Central Avenue Intersection Upgrade in Altona Meadows will reduce travel times, improve safety and create better walking paths and connections.
To cater for population growth and increase the efficiency of the intersection, the upgrade will:
- remove the existing roundabout and replace it with a new traffic light intersection to improve traffic flow on Point Cook Road, Central Avenue and for traffic coming off the Princes Freeway
- build a new outbound exit ramp that loops under Point Cook Road bridge and connects to the intersection, to reduce congestion and delays for vehicles travelling from the Princes Freeway to Point Cook Road, and improving access from the freeway to Central Avenue
- add new lanes on Point Cook Road and Central Avenue, near the intersection
- add pedestrian crossings and upgrade footpaths at the intersection.
