THE roundabout at Thompsons Road and Frankston-Dandenong Road is set to close for five weeks.
The intersection will close from 5 June to 13 July to accommodate for works. The roundabout will be removed and replaced with traffic lights.
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “we’re closing the intersection for five weeks to avoid four months of rolling disruptions to locals and complete the upgrade more than two years earlier than when it was first announced.”
“More than 58,000 vehicles travel through the Frankston-Dandenong Road and Thompsons Road intersection every day, making it an extremely busy freight and transport link in Melbourne’s booming south east.
“I know a lot of people in our community are going to be frustrated with losing access to the intersection for five weeks, but it means we will remove the roundabout four months sooner.”
Detours are in place while works are underway.

Heads up the police are out booking people for not following the new double turn lanes into hall road from Frankston-Dandenong rd even though coming from the service lane into intersection you wouldn’t know that’s what’s been done, hubby got pulled over tonight and fined he didn’t even know that’s what they had done first time going that direction from gym no warning just fine and 2 demerits points very angry taking this one to court. And then they went back waiting for the next person. What a joke.Just an excuse to revenue raise.
