Upgrade work on the Kings and Taylors road intersection in Delahey is almost complete.
The roundabout at the intersection has been removed and replaced with traffic lights. A raised intersection to slow traffic has also been installed.
VicRoads metro north-west operations director Fatima Mohamed said the upgrade would boost traffic flow and reduce travel time, particularly in morning and afternoon peaks.
“These changes will … make the intersection safer and, importantly, allow drivers to get where they need to go on time,” she said.
“Tens of thousands of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists use the Kings and Taylors road intersection every day, with residents finally getting this long-awaited upgrade.”
The upgrade also features new bicycle lanes, a new pedestrian crossing and upgraded footpaths designed to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
The upgrade is scheduled for completion early this year, subject to weather conditions.
