Progress Update at The Alchester Village intersection!
The team at Bild Group, on behalf of the Department of Transport and Planning, have been hard at work upgrading the Mountain Highway, Colchester Road, and Albert Avenue intersection in Boronia to improve traffic flow and pedestrian/cyclist safety. The improved intersection will include new traffic signals, additional lanes and safer crossings, with completion expected by mid-2025.
The Alchester Village intersection upgrade is nearing completion.
Major construction works on the project are expected to be complete by 31 May. Albert Avenue will reopen in the evening of this Friday, 30 May.
From Sunday 1 June 2025 we will be working at night with changes to traffic management in place to complete final asphalting and line marking. Night works for the final asphalting and line marking will continue for up to four weeks, between 7pm and 6am each night. We will pause work for the King’s Birthday long weekend from Friday 6 to Monday 9 June.
- NOTE: Specific traffic management arrangements and disruptions will change from night to night when we asphalt different sections.
- Most nights, traffic management will involve closing one carriageway of Mountain Highway with both directions of traffic moved to the other side of the road.
- At times, an overnight closure of Colchester Road between Beresford Road and Mountain Highway will be in place. At other times, we will close Albert Avenue between Mountain Highway and 177 Albert Avenue. Please follow detour signage and traffic controller instructions.
Getting to school
From 31 May, all vehicle movements at the intersection will be available. Pedestrians walking or riding to school will be able to use the new traffic lights to cross the road.
All public transport buses will go back to their usual routes, with no further detours required.
We’d like to thank the Boronia Heights school community for their patience while we deliver this important upgrade.
