Major Roads Projects Victoria have re-opened the Ballarto Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road intersections on the Western Port Highway last week, following two-and-a-half weeks of 24/7 construction works.
Smaller temporary roundabouts have replaced the old roundabouts at the intersections, and temporary fencing and barriers have been installed in order to prepare for the installation of traffic lights later this year.
Speeds are currently reduced to 40 kilometres per hour at both intersections and to 60 kilometres per hour between the intersections.
During the construction period the eastern approach at the Ballarto Road intersection will temporarily be one lane instead of two, while the left turn slip lanes from Western Port Highway to Cranbourne-Frankston Road will be closed.
Motorists will still be able to turn left from the outside lane.
A new shared walking and cycling path to connect the existing paths near the Ballarto Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road intersection will be built as part of the Western Port Highway Upgrade.
The upgrade is set for completion by the end of 2022.
