Major works are now complete on the new signalised intersection at Cranbourne-Frankston, Hall and Evans roads.
“Our project team has completed an eight-week construction blitz on time to get traffic flowing again through the new-look intersection at Cranbourne-Frankston, Hall and Evans roads,” Major Road Projects Victoria Program Director Brendan Pauwels said.
“Removing this intersection has been an enormous undertaking and we appreciate the patience and support of the community throughout the construction blitz.”
The project crew opened the new-look intersection on schedule on Monday 26 June in time for the first morning peak to cap off a successful eight-week construction blitz.
The new signalised four-way intersection at Cranbourne-Frankston, Hall and Evans roads has replaced the former curved intersection, making for safer and easier travelling for all residents and commuters.
Crews raised up the intersection by two metres – requiring approximately 30,000 tonnes of in-fill, and levelled out the road, built new lanes, installed underground electrical infrastructure and finally installed traffic lights and line marking before opening the new road on 26 June.
As part of the eight-week construction blitz, our crews were able to dig up 32,000 square metres of pavement , remove 4.3 kilometres of kerbs, install 1100 metres of drainage pipes and bring in 10,560 cubic metres of recycled materials and fill.
Crews are continuing works to finish remaining works at the intersection, including drainage, utility relocation, and safety barrier installation.
A new water retention basin on the south-east corner of the intersection will capture water run-off during periods of heavy rain.
Works on the Hall Road Upgrade also include the addition of extra lanes between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway, and upgrading the McCormicks Road, Taylors Road and Western Port Highway intersections.
The next stage of work to complete the upgrade of the Hall and McCormicks roads intersection also got underway on 23 June, when works commenced on a major drainage upgrade on McCormicks Road south of the intersection.
A four-week closure of the intersection is planned from 21 July to 21 August to complete major construction of the intersection.
Work to build the new westbound lanes between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway is almost complete.
From 7pm Friday 30 June to 6am Monday 3 July, Hall Road will be closed while 2.5 kilometres of traffic barriers are moved to allow traffic to move onto the new westbound lanes while works to build the eastbound lanes gets underway.
