The City of Whittlesea awarded a contract for the installation of lights at the intersection of Findon and Williamsons Road at its last Council meeting.

The intersection upgrade follows the completion of the Findon Road extension, running from Williamsons Road to Danaher Drive, in June last year – featuring the creation of additional lanes, a walking and cycling path aligned with the existing Yan Yean Pipe Track, and a road bridge over the underpass to Mernda.

The traffic lights will provide residents with safe access to several nearby community facilities, including schools, train stations, and shopping centres.

In addition to the traffic lights, the project also includes road widening, drainage works, installation of streetlights, signage, line marking, and landscape works.

Temporary signals have been in place to manage traffic at the intersection of Williamsons Road since the extension was opened.

City of Whittlesea Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson said the intersection was helping to enhance traffic flow in an increasingly busy area of the municipality.

“We are constantly looking for ways to improve our traffic network so residents can travel quickly and safely to and from the places they need to go, such as work, school, and the shops,” she said.

“The Findon Road extension and now this signalised intersection will help motorists go about their everyday lives while spending less time in their cars.”

It is expected work on the project will start in late 2024, and finish in mid-to-late 2025.
