  • on-road bicycle lanes on both sides connecting to the existing Plenty Road bicycle lanes
  • bus priority lanes at The Lakes Boulevard and Hawkstowe Parade intersections

Benefits
  • assist traffic flow along Plenty Road for current and future traffic and population growth
  • improve safety and local access

    • Current progress & traffic impacts
      In March 2012 two-way traffic was switched onto the newly constructed lanes between Gordons Road and McArthurs Road.

      Reconstruction including earthworks and drainage is now underway on the original Plenty Road lanes. When completed in Spring 2012, these lanes will carry southbound traffic, with north-bound traffic running on the new lanes now open.

      Involving the community
      VicRoads welcomes input and feedback and we will keep the local community and stakeholders informed about the project’s progress during the months ahead.

      The community will soon have the opportunity to view the landscape design plans. Watch this space for further information.
