We are reconstructing Hanson Road and installing a roundabout at Creekwood Drive in Craigieburn to improve safety for the community.

What we're doing

What’s happening:

  • road reconstruction for a smoother journey
  • upgrading the existing roundabout at Malcolm Creek Parade and building a new roundabout at Creekwood Drive for better traffic flow
  • kerb, channel and drainage upgrades.

Why we're doing it

The current road was in poor condition and reconstruction will stop the road from further deteriorating, reduce ongoing maintenance to the road, improve ride quality and enhance overall road safety.

The installation of a roundabout at Hanson Road and Creekwood Drive will reduce vehicle speeds, provide safer crossing facilities for vulnerable road users and improve the operational performance of the intersection.

Traffic impacts - September update

In February, we started reconstructing Hanson Road between Creekwood Drive and Malcolm Creek Parade. Works are taking longer than expected due to changes to utility service requirements.

The project is now expected to be completed by late September 2026. We're working closely with our contractor and service providers to minimise disruption and complete the remaining works as quickly as possible.

Upcoming overnight road closure

To complete the final road surfacing, Hanson Road will be fully closed from 6:30pm on Thursday 10 September until 11:30pm on Friday 11 September.

The closure will apply to Hanson Road between the Malcolm Creek Parade/Elsternwick Way roundabout and the new Creekwood Drive roundabout.

During this time:

  • The Malcolm Creek Parade, Elsternwick Way and Hanson Road roundabout will be closed.
  • Creekwood Drive will remain closed.
  • Detour routes will be in place via Grand Boulevard, Hume Highway and Windrock Avenue.
  • Traffic management and detour signs will be in place to guide motorists.
  • Some construction noise is expected during the works.

Please allow extra travel time and follow all traffic management directions.

From Saturday 12 September

Once the asphalt works are complete, we'll continue with the remaining finishing works.

  • The Malcolm Creek Parade, Elsternwick Way and Hanson Road roundabout will reopen to traffic.
  • Creekwood Drive will remain closed while the remaining works are completed.
  • Street lighting works will continue until approximately November 2026 but are not expected to affect traffic after September.

We understand these works have caused delays and thank residents and road users for their patience while we complete these important improvements.
