A CHELSEA Heights intersection will shut for nearly a month to facilitate works on the Mordialloc Freeway.
The roundabout at Wells Road and Thames Promenade will close from 2 January to 27 January. During that time it will be demolished.
The road will be widened and traffic lights will be installed for when the intersection reopens.
While the intersection is shut, detours will be in place via the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Springvale Road.
Major Road Projects Victoria says that “replacing the roundabout with traffic lights to allow traffic to flow more smoothly to and from the new freeway access ramps.”
The freeway is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The project was projected to cost $375 million, before another $148.2 million was put into it during the mid-year budget update at the end of 2019.
