Improvements to the Dellamore Boulevard intersection in Greenvale have reached completion as part of the Mickleham Road Upgrade – Stage 1, in Victoria.
The improvements to the road’s intersection include new kerbs, drainage, road surface, road markings and shared paths for walking and cycling, aiming to improve safety and traffic flow for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
The addition of lanes in each direction between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard began in early July before finishing in August.
During the intersection upgrade, crews laid 250 tonnes of asphalt – equivalent in weight to around 115 dual-cab utes.
