Melton council is constructing a new roundabout at the intersection of Boundary Road and Troups Road South/Davis Road in Truganina, and it wants locals to have their say on the construction plans.
The new roundabout is designed to replace the existing four-way intersection in a bid to improve traffic flow and enhance the safety for road users by reducing vehicle speeds and lowering the risk of collisions.
Council have proposed a number of key features in addition to the new roundabout, including safety upgrades in a raised platform surrounding all sides of the roundabout, line marking, updated signage and safety barriers.
The design also includes plans for new public lighting, upgraded pavement, drainage improvements and a new speed limit of 60km/h.
Construction is planned for early 2026, where the intersection is planned for closure for three weeks, projected to reopen on 28 January.
Detour routes will be available through Dohertys Road, Hopkins Road and Mount Cottrell Road.
Melton mayor Lara Carli said the upgrades are essential for Melton’s growing community.
“As our community grows, we need to make sure our roads are upgraded to a standard that is safe for our residents.”
Community members are being encouraged to review the traffic management arrangements and provide feedback by Tuesday 2 December at conversations.melton.vic.gov.au.
