Donnybrook Road to Eclipse Drive / Merrifield Boulevard
Completion expected February 2023

Stage Two:

Stage Three:
Merrifield South to Mt Ridley Road

Why we're doing it

The extension project involves works from Donnybrook Road to Mt Ridley Road, and will allow drivers, cyclists and residents to enjoy: 

  • Improved connectivity between Mickleham and Craigieburn, including facilities in Craigieburn and Merrifield Town Centre, Craigieburn Train Station, and Merrifield Business Park.
  • Reduced travel time and congestion along Hume Freeway, Forrest Red Gum Drive, Mickleham Road, and at the Donnybrook Road interchange with Hume Freeway.
  • Access to the new business park, south of Donnybrook Road.
  • Opportunity for a new bus service for Merrifield residents.
