Duplicating Aitken Boulevard Craigieburn 5

We’re duplicating Aitken Boulevard to cut travel time so you get more time with your family and friends.

What we're doing

We're adding extra lanes across Aitken Boulevard between Grand Boulevard and Marathon Boulevard.

The project includes:

adding extra lanes in each direction
upgrading existing intersection and traffic lights
installing new traffic lights
replacing the roundabout with traffic lights
constructing new pedestrian crossing facilities
building new shared walking and cycling paths

Why we're doing it

Aitken Boulevard connects thousands of residents to and from their homes and work, shopping precincts, community centres, schools and public transport.

We’re upgrading the road to improve connections through Craigieburn to help cut the commute of those who use it now and cater for the increase in demand expected with growing suburbs.

When it’ll be finished

Works are scheduled to be completed over the coming weeks.
