Drivers can now enjoy safer travel in Greenvale following the opening of all lanes on the Mickleham Road Upgrade, Stage One.
The opening on December 12 signalled the end of the project’s major works to add lanes and upgrade key intersections between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard.
With road users now travelling on three lanes in either direction, the project has created a major uplift to the capacity of the busy section of Mickleham Road.
The project has also built sections of shared paths for walking and cycling to improve connectivity along the road and increase opportunities for active transport.
With major works now complete, lane and road closures may take place in the coming weeks as crews finish landscaping works.
Originally slated for completion in mid-2025, the Mickleham Road Upgrade, Stage One, has been finished six months ahead of schedule.
Major Road Projects Victoria delivered the project with construction partner BMD.
Major Road Projects Victoria Program Director Dipal Sorathia said he was excited to see the final touches of the project complete.
“We are pleased to have opened all lanes for the length of the project, which will help people get home sooner and safer,” he said.
“We thank the community for their patience as we completed the project’s major works. We look forward to completing the finishing touches in the coming weeks.”
