The Watson Street Interchange upgrade is one step closer, with the business case for the project now complete.
Though the project, which will see the addition of an inbound and outbound ramp, is fully funded, works are unable to commence until final approvals have been made.
Developed by Major Road Projects Victoria, the business case includes detailed considerations of traffic modelling, economic modelling, community feedback, and environmental impact.
Planning work will continue to progress as the project team undertake detailed environmental investigations, facilitate required planning approvals, and prepare a Cultural Heritage Management Plan.
Federal Member for McEwen Rob Mitchell and State Member for Yan Yean Lauren Kathage celebrated the milestone, both stating they were looking forward to the project moving ahead.
“Our community is looking forward to the realisation of this significant investment,” Mr Mitchell said.
