Works on upgrades to the Taylors Road and Westwood Drive intersection in Taylors Hill are set to get under way next year.
The intersection, which is one of the busiest in the Melton municipality, will go from a roundabout to being signalised.
It’s hoped the changes will improve the flow of traffic.
The plans, which are out for community consultation, include a road expansion, new pedestrian crossings, public lighting, landscaping and relocation of underground services.
The $5.3 million project was funded in the 2021-22 Melton council budget. The works are set to be finished in 2023.
The works are set to take between six and 12 months to complete, with most of the work to occur during work hours.
There will be lane closures at times and changes to bus time tables when the works get underway, while access to the Watervale Shopping Centre will be available at all times.
It was one of three upgrades along Taylors Road announced in this year’s budget.
More than $3.1 million has been allocated for signalisation of the Taylors and Plumpton roads intersection, and $3.38 million for the Taylors and Sinclair roads intersection both in Deanside.
Consultation on the Taylors Road and Westwood Drive closes on December 3.
