New traffic lights at Elmslie Drive and Cameron Street have been switched on as part of the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade.

Connecting to the Casey Fields sporting complex at Casey Fields Boulevard, the intersection will give another signalised access point, helping relieve some of the through traffic on Eliburn Drive.

Works continue to progress across the project as the crew is preparing to lay the final layer of asphalt along Narre Waren-Cranbourne Road, including parts of Berwick-Cranbourne Road and Cameron Street in May.

Works have been steaming ahead on South Gippsland Highway and Cameron Street, with new lanes opening in sections for the first time, as well as the new entry and exit points along the Cameron Street Service Road.

Further in the north of the project, the crew removed the hump over the old railway line and levelled out the road between Marklin and Clarendon streets.

As the crew gets ready to reopen this section of service road, they will soon start their final asphalting and line marking works between Clarendon Street and north of Loch Street.  

Asphalting and line marking on the service road between Clarendon Street and north of Loch Street was completed last week with the wearing course laid.

Now with asphalting and line marking complete, the crew will finish installing the shared walking and cycling path and guardrails.  

From 9am Friday 10 May, the crew will open the service road between Clarendon Street and just past Loch Street.

They will complete minor finishing works such as landscaping over the coming months. 

Later in May, works will take place to lay the final layer of asphalt on the service road between Lyall and Clarendon streets.

Once this section is complete, the service road will fully reopen to traffic, connecting between Lyall Street and north of Loch Street with the new entry and exit point along the new Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road.
