McMahons Road–Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:37:127:): We are not wasting any time in delivering the massive upgrade at the intersection of McMahons Road and Burwood Highway in Ferntree Gully. We have been out talking to the community about the project, and I am excited to say early works are due to kick off in June, with major construction thereafter and completion currently scheduled for early next year. Long talked about by others, this project is a massive win for locals and will deliver new traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, extra lanes in each direction through the intersection, dedicated right-turn lanes, shared left-turn lanes and through lanes at McMahons Road and Clyde Street so you can travel safely through the intersection, a dedicated left-turn lane from Burwood Highway into Clyde Street with improved access to businesses and other safety improvements. I will look forward to keeping locals informed about this project and getting out detailed time lines once we move into construction.
