A contract has been awarded for works to upgrade the Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road intersection in Melbourne’s south east.
Whelans Group Investments was the successful bidder for the project that will see the removal of the current roundabout and replace the intersection with traffic lights, and enhance bus infrastructure, improving driving conditions and motorists’ safety.
The project will aim to cut congestion and improve traffic flow for the 47,000 motorists that use the intersection daily.

Walking and cycling paths will be built along the intersection upgrade, offering safer travel options for all road users.
Over the coming months, crews will undertake site investigations, utility relocation and site establishment works, paving the way for major construction to begin later in the year and to be completed in mid-2027.
The project is in addition to already completed projects in Melbourne’s southeast, aimed at reducing congestion for one of the city’s fastest growing areas. These works include upgrades to Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, Pound Road West and Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road and Hall Road.
