Roads and Traffic

Hume City Council - Somerton Rd Roxburgh Park-13.jpg

Hume City Council is responsible for the management of almost 1,357km of local roads within Hume. Major roads including freeways, state highways, tourist roads and forest roads are declared roads and the responsibility of VicRoads. You can view a full list of Council-controlled roads on our roads and transport page.

Current traffic disruptions within Hume

The information below includes disruptions due to major works being undertaken by other organisations and private developers (External works) and works that we are carrying out for road repairs, resurfacing or upgrades (Council works).

Hanson Road, Craigieburn - Changed traffic conditions (Council works)

In February, we started works on the Hanson Road reconstruction between Creekwood Drive and Malcolm Creek Parade.

The roundabout intersection at Malcolm Creek Parade, Hanson Road and Elsternwick Way has now reopened to traffic. 

Hanson Road remains closed between Malcolm Creek Parade and Creekwood Drive, and a section of Creekwood Drive is also closed to enable safe construction of the new roundabout.

As works progress, traffic management will continue to be adjusted to improve access. The roadworks are expected to be completed by late July  (weather permitting), with Hanson Road then reopening to traffic.

Lighting works along Hanson Road will continue for a further three months. These works are not expected to impact traffic conditions.

We appreciate your patience while we complete these important works as quickly and safely as possible. You can learn more about the project here. 

 

Grand Boulevard, Craigieburn - Lane closures (External works)

As part of the Amaroo Road Project, there will be changed traffic conditions along Grand Boulevard in Craigieburn until late June 2026. These works are being led and managed by the Department of Transport and Planning.

 

Balbethan Drive and Stockwell Drive, Sunbury - Changed traffic conditions (External works)

Winslow Infrastructure has been engaged by Villawood Properties to deliver the Kimberley Estate Bridge Project. The project will provide a new road bridge and shared walking and cycling path over the Bendigo rail line, improving access and connectivity between existing neighbourhoods and the future Kimberley Estate residential development.

Traffic changes from Friday 17 April

As part of upcoming stormwater drainage and road construction works, a temporary traffic switch will be introduced in the area.

Balbethan Drive

  • Closed to through‑traffic at the intersection with Stockwell Drive
  • Local resident access only, via a designated access track
  • All driveway access will be maintained unless alternative arrangements have been agreed directly with residents
  • Safety barriers will be installed to separate traffic from the construction area

Stockwell Drive

  • Traffic conditions will remain largely unchanged
  • Vehicles will no longer be able to travel through to Balbethan Drive and must turn around

These changes are required to support the safe and efficient delivery of essential drainage and road infrastructure while minimising disruption to local residents.

These works are not being led by Council. For further information, please contact Winslow Infrastructure on 0457 469 959.
