Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road Intersection Upgrade

Overview

Plans to upgrade the Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road intersection in Clyde north are underway.

As part of the project we’ll:

replace the roundabout at the Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road intersection with traffic signals
add additional through lanes and dedicated turning lanes to increase capacity and improve traffic flow
build new walking and cycling paths to improve connections through the area
upgrade several bus stops at the intersection to improve commuter safety.

This project will build on the significant improvements delivered by Victoria’s Big Build in Melbourne’s southeast in recent years, in particular upgrades to Thompsons Road, O’Shea Road, and the Monash Freeway, as well as the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade which is on track to be completed later this year.

Work has also started to upgrade Clyde Road between the Princes Freeway and Kangan Drive, further improving capacity and reducing congestion on this key growth area.

A project construction timeline and overview map are currently being finalised and will be available here shortly.

Community and business feedback

From Monday 6 March to Sunday 26 March 2023, we asked the community and local businesses about how they were using the intersection as well as their views on safety, traffic flow and what we should consider in our planning and design options. Feedback highlighted strong support for a Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road Intersection Upgrade and that the roundabout should be converted to traffic signals to improve safety and reduce travel times.

More than 1,800 community and business surveys were completed, and over 90 pieces of feedback were provided on our interactive map:

96% of community respondents and 95% of business respondents support an upgrade
87% of community respondents have concerns with the current intersection. When asked what concerns they have (multiple choice), the top responses were traffic flow (78%), safety (70%), road user behaviour (58%), and travel times (49%)
88% of community respondents rated traffic flow as poor or very poor, 9% said fair, and 3% said good or very good
92% of community respondents rate the current walking and cycling paths at the intersection as very poor or poor.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback. For further information on what we heard, view the Community and Business Consultation Summary (PDF, 2.9 MB).

From Friday 12 April to Sunday 28 April 2024, we asked the community to provide feedback on the latest project boundary plan. This plan defines where permanent and temporary works, including the placement of site compounds, will take place.

The feedback we received forms part of our planning submission to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback. More information about what we heard will be provided here soon.
