What’s been happening
We've been working hard to fast track works. During the intersection closure in July, we:
- installed public lighting poles
- reinstated centre medians
- installed new kerbs and guard rails
- removed and smoothed out existing asphalt, and installed new asphalt
- completed the shared walking and cycling paths.
Ongoing works
Thompsons Road will be closed in both directions between Berwick-Cranbourne Road and Laker Boulevard/Matterhorn Drive, with detours in place via Thompsons Road, Wheelers Park Drive and Glasscocks Road, or Berwick-Cranbourne Road, Grices Road, and Laker and Fenway boulevards until mid-September 2026.
Pedestrian detours and bus stop access
To get around the intersection by foot, detours remain via Honour Avenue, Fenway Boulevard and Matterhorn Drive until the upgrade is completed.
Look out for pedestrian detour signs along the route, and if you’re getting around by bus, be sure to check your nearest stop for any changes.
