The Cranbourne-Frankston Road intersection blitz began on Friday 28 April.

“We’re ready to start major construction of the new Hall, Evans, and Cranbourne-Frankston roads intersection,” said Major Road Projects Victoria Program Director Brendan Pauwels.

“While we understand that closing these roads while we work is inconvenient, it means we can safely build the new intersection and have it open three months faster than planned, avoiding lengthy disruptions.”

As part of the Hall Road Upgrade, the intersections of Evans and Cranbourne-Frankston roads will be realigned to create a single safer intersection as part of the wider Hall Road Upgrade improving traffic flow across Carrum and Cranbourne.

The project will convert the intersections at Cranbourne-Frankston, Evans and Hall roads into a single four-way intersection with traffic lights.

Extra lanes will be added to increase capacity and improve traffic flow for the 30,000 vehicles that travel along Hall Road each day.

From 7pm on Friday 28 April to 5am on Monday 26 June, the intersections will be closed to fast-track major construction.

Crews will work 24/7 to complete three months of work in just eight weeks.

Arterial detours will be in place via Thompsons Road, Western Port Highway, South Gippsland Highway, North Road and Craig Road.

Delays of up to 30 minutes are expected.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and consider travelling outside of peak periods where possible.
