EAST: Safety boost for Warrandyte corner
Federal and State Governments are upgrading the Warrandyte Five Ways intersection to improve road safety Big Build Roads is seeking community feedback until December 7 to help shape the design and planning for the upgrade of the Ringwood-Warrandyte Rd, Croydon Rd, Husseys Lane and Brumbys Rd intersection.
More than 8000 vehicles use the intersection daily, and the upgrade aims to make it safer and more efficient for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
Community input will help Big Build Roads understand how people use the intersection and what improvements are most needed, said a Government representative.
Planning is already underway, including traffic analysis, design development and on-site investigations to better understand local conditions.
Temporary lane closures and reduced speed limits may be required at times, but traffic disruption will be minimised wherever possible.
“We’re getting on with the planning work needed to fix one of Warrandyte’s most challenging intersections – improving safety and reducing congestion for everyone who uses it,” said Melissa Horne (pictured), State Minister for Roads and Road Safety.
“This is great news for Warrandyte and surrounding suburbs,” said Sonja Terpstra, North-Eastern MLC.
