Roads and Traffic

Developer works continue to occur at the intersection of Fleetwood Drive and Somerton Road in Greenvale. 

These ongoing works are being conducted by the developer as part of the development of the estate. 

On Monday, July 29, work commenced on reconstructing Geach Street in Dallas.

As part of the reconstruction, we will:

• Undertake road pavement works.
• Reconstruct the kerb and channel.
• Upgrade the existing or new stormwater drainage system.
• Reconstruct driveways

In August, we will modify the traffic conditions along Geach Street, implementing reduced speeds and lane closures to ensure the safety of these works. While these works are in progress, please refer to the traffic controllers and detour signs on the site.

We intend to complete these upgrade works by late 2024, with progress contingent on weather conditions. We encourage you to plan your journey and allow additional travel time.

Thank you for your patience while we complete these important works.

From Wednesday 7th August 2024, there will be changed traffic conditions in Craigieburn due to roadworks. Please refer to traffic controllers and detour signs on site while these works take place. Thank you for your patience while we complete these important works.

Scope of works: The road will be resurfaced by removing the top layer (milling) and then laying down a new 50mm thick layer of asphalt (wearing course) to improve the road’s surface.

From Monday 22 July, we’ve been reconstructing Hothlyn Drive in Craigieburn.

As part of the reconstruction, we will:

• undertake road pavement works
• reconstruct kerb and channel
• upgrade the existing stormwater drainage system
• reconstruct driveways.

Construction works involve two stages. Stage 1 works are between Carlisle and Stockton Street, with Stage 2 works between Carlisle Street and Crocket Street.

The following works have now been completed on both stages:

• drainage works
• concrete works, including work on footpaths, pram crossings and driveways
• reconstruction of kerbs
• reinstatement of the nature strip.

Remaining works involve asphalting and profiling works, which will take place in late September and early October.

There are currently changed traffic conditions along Hothlyn Drive, including reduced speeds and lane closures in place so that we can complete these works safely. Please refer to traffic controllers and detour signs on site while these works take place.

These works are on track for completion in early October, with the progress dependent on weather conditions. We encourage you to plan your journey and allow additional travel time.

Thank you for your patience while we complete these important works.

From Saturday 29 June until Sunday 14 July, private developers will be undertaking works to install a median strip and build a traffic island along Mt Ridley Road in Mickleham.

These works have been scheduled during the off-peak school holiday period, when traffic volumes are lower. While construction is underway, there’ll be changed traffic conditions including reduced speed limits, lane closures and temporary barriers, traffic lights and temporary line marking on Mt Ridley Road while these works take place.

As part of this new road design, how you access Mt Ridley Road and Lagoon Avenue will change once the works are complete. From Monday 15 July, the below traffic arrangements will permanently be in place.
