WORK has begun on the upgrade of Hall Road.
Major works on the project will see 3.8 kilometres of road between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway duplicated. Trees were cleared on the site to prepare for construction.
When the project is complete, Hall Road will be two lanes in both directions between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway. Crews will also build 5 kilometres of cycling and walking paths along Hall Road before they wrap up works.
The state government estimated that 17,000 motorists use the road daily. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny says the upgrade will make the road safer for all who use it. “I’m so proud to be delivering such an important project for our local community. I know how important this major road project is for local residents. The Hall Road upgrade will make such a big difference for locals – making sure we can get to where we want to go, and back home again, sooner and safer,” she said.
The road has been closing overnight since 3 July. Changed traffic conditions are expected until the end of the month.
