Project Overview
South Gippsland Highway and Ballarto Road intersection will be re-constructed and converted into a roundabout to accommodate growing population. The enhanced intersection will result in a safer road network and provide easier access into both sides of Ballarto Road.
Update
We want to thank the community for your ongoing patience as we are nearing completion of the new roundabout at the South Gippsland Highway and Ballarto Road intersection.
Construction is now in its final stages, with work expected to be completed over the next month.
You may have already noticed that some sections of the roundabout are now open. We are excited to be getting closer to the finish line!
What is happening next?
From Tuesday 5 August, there will be some traffic management in place and lane closures (dependent on weather conditions):
- Northbound slow lane: this lane will be closed while final works are completed. Lane closures and traffic management will be in place between the hours of 7am – 5pm daily. The roundabout will be fully open and operational outside of these hours.
- Northbound fast lane: once this stage is completed, crews will move to the northbound fast lane and also close the side street entrance closest to Holbourne Drive. Works will be completed on drainage, kerbs, and installation of signs and fencing.
- To be able to complete the final wearing course layer of asphalt and permanent line marking on the northbound carriage way, construction crews will require a 24-hour closure of the northbound carriage way. This will be the final major construction activity required to complete the project.
- Intermittent lane closures will be required to complete finishing works for the construction crew's safety.
