Project update

Watson Street Interchange Upgrade

For information relating to works along Epping-Kilmore Road please refer to Inland Rail or the Department of Transport and Planning.

We're moving into the next stage of major works. From August, we’ll start realigning the existing north-facing freeway entry and exit ramps on Watson Street and connecting them to the new interchange. We'll also reopen the walking and cycling path on Watson Street and end the free community and school shuttle services.

What we’re doing and when

From 9pm, Monday 3 August until mid-November, we'll close both north-facing freeway ramps on Watson Street while we build new connections to the upgraded intersections. During the closure, we'll:

  • install drainage
  • build new kerbs and pavement
  • install traffic signals and street lighting
  • complete landscaping and signage.

To prepare our work area the ramp closure, we’ll implement changes on the below dates and times:

  • On Monday 3 August and Tuesday 4 August, 10pm to 5am each night, we'll move the temporary safety barriers to the north side of Watson Street to create a safe work area for our crews.
  • From 5am, Tuesday 4 August, traffic will use the newly built south side of Watson Street while we continue moving barriers and preparing the new work area
