Sun’s out, lights’ on in Pakenham Over the next few weeks, the Pakenham community will see the finishing touches on the upgraded Princes Freeway interchange on Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road take shape. The new traffic lights have been switched on to improve traffic flow. We’ve also opened the old bridge to southbound travel, and all ramps to and from the freeway and the exit from Peet Street to Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road. While we finish major construction on the upgraded interchange, there’ll be ongoing works and lane closures until late December while we install safety barriers and lay the top asphalt layer on the new lanes on Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road.

Our Ison Road Overpass team recently installed 30 reinforced concrete beams over the Geelong-Melbourne railway line, effectively creating the structural form for the project’s bridge. The team used a massive 650-tonne crawler crane to lift and place the beams onto the bridge’s central crosshead and abutments over a 10-day program of works. Crews will now begin to build the bridge deck as we continuing to work towards helping Wyndham West link up with the Princes Freeway!

The Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade was completed earlier this year in Melbourne’s south east thanks to the dedication of the project team and our construction partner McConnell Dowell. This upgrade added almost 10km of new lanes and 9km of walking and cycling paths, and achieved social, economic and environmental outcomes too, including: ✅ 41,100+ Aboriginal employment hours ✅ 46,100+ trainee, cadet, apprentice employment hours ✅ 142,000+ priority jobseeker employment hours. Motorists can now use Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road to travel north from South Gippsland Highway, reducing traffic on Cranbourne’s High Street and improving travel through Cranbourne. Watch to find out more from some of the project’s leaders. #Construction #Roads #Infrastructure #RoadUpgrades #RoadSafety City of Casey, Eason Lin, Rihana Jamali, Tim Smith
