WORKS are beginning to build a roundabout on the Northern Highway and Epping-Kilmore Road in Kilmore to help meet the town’s growing population and the accommodation of heavy vehicles.
It’s a project that will be constructed over the next year, with a completion date slated for late 2026 depending on weather.
Motorists will be asked to respect the reduced speed limits and lane closures when required.
The new roundabout has been designed as a dual-lane roundabout, and will improve safety in four different ways, by improving the traffic flow, safer turning opportunities from Epping-Kilmore Road, drivers slowing down and improving visibility of the intersection with new lighting provided.
There will also be same native, non-native trees and vegetation removed, but landscaping will utilise local indigenous plant species during construction.
