All lanes have opened on the Mickleham Road Upgrade – Stage One project in Victoria, with 25,000 daily drivers set to benefit from enhanced safety and reduced congestion.
Drivers are now travelling on three lanes in either direction, providing a significant boost to the capacity of the busy connection.
The opening recently marked the end of the project’s major works to add lanes and upgrade key intersections between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard. With major works complete, lane and road closures may take place at certain times in the coming weeks as crews complete finishing works including landscaping.

The project has also built sections of shared path for walking and cycling to improve connectivity along the road and increase opportunities for active transport.
Originally slated for completion in mid-2025, the Mickleham Road Upgrade – Stage One was finished over six months ahead of schedule. Major Road Projects Victoria delivered the project with construction partner BMD.
Planning and development is underway on Mickleham Road Upgrade – Stage Two, with the Victorian and Federal governments already committing funding to commence planning on the potential upgrade.
