While planning for the Princes Freeway and Werribee Main Road Interchange Upgrade is ongoing, we're making further improvements to a key intersection to address congestion on the freeway for Werribee-bound vehicles in the afternoon peak. Detailed site investigations and pre-construction activities will take place over the coming months and construction timeframes will be known once planning is further progressed.
New upgraded traffic signals on Werribee Main Road
We're upgrading the temporary traffic signals that have been in place since early June on the Werribee Main Road bridge over the Princes Freeway. The new semi-permanent signals will control traffic on all approaches to the intersection of the Werribee-bound Princes Freeway exit ramp and Werribee Main Road bridge.
These semi-permanent signals will be switched on the week commencing Monday 28 July and will operate at all times to provide more certainty for drivers exiting the Princes Freeway to safely turn right towards Werribee.
This improved intersection will help reduce congestion on the freeway for Werribee-bound vehicles in the afternoon peak and help reduce queuing on the outbound Princes Freeway emergency lane during the afternoon peak and get drivers home sooner and safer.
