Road projects
We understand that being able to get around your community with ease, is an important part of where you live. From established freeways to internal intersections, see below summary on key road projects complete & still to come.
Kirkpatrick Boulevard and Hopkins Road Intersection
Stockland recently opened the new signalised intersection connecting Hopkins Road to Kirkpatrick Boulevard.
Grand Boulevard
Stockland have completed the 1.7km road linking Mt Atkinson and Grandview – Grand Boulevard - between Clara Avenue and Altezze Drive. Grand Boulevard has now opened under temporary traffic management conditions which will remain in place while we continue to work with Council and Authorities to finalise the electrical energisation of this stretch of road, along with the energisation of the traffic signals.
Powercor has advised that, due to unforeseen delays, they now anticipate completing the electrical connection to Grand Boulevard in December*. Once this is complete, the Department of Transport and Planning can proceed with energising the signals.
We understand the importance of these signals for the community, and we are working closely with Powercor to ensure this matter is resolved as quickly as possible.
If everything proceeds as planned, we anticipate that the traffic signals along Grand Boulevard will be operational by January 2025*.
Proposed Hopkins Road level crossing removal
Early works are currently underway on the Hopkins Road level crossing removal. Once complete, the existing level crossing will be replace by a new road bridge over the rail line and the Level Crossing Removal Project has recently released early designs of what you can expect.
These works, being undertaken by the State Government, are expected to improve traffic flow in the area and the Victorian Government have indicated a proposed completion date of 2026.
Duplication of Hopkins Road
Hopkins Road is the responsibility of State Government, and all associated upgrade works are subject to future State and Federal government funding.
State Government made the recent commitment of $11m through Growth Area Infrastructure Contributions (GAIC) for a new shared path along Hopkins Road, between Grand Blvd and Sheahan Rd.
The proposed duplication of Hopkins Road has been identified by the State Government as a long-term project, subject to future government budget approvals.
Future Mt Atkinson Road
Mt Atkinson Road ultimately connecting Grand Boulevard to the southern boundary of the Mt Atkinson residential estate, is set to feature a single-car carriageway in either direction, along with paths providing pedestrian and cyclist access.
Stockland has commenced the design of Mt Atkinson Road, a project envisioned to be delivered in stages.
Subject to approvals, it is anticipated that this section of Mt Atkinson will be complete 2028-2030.
Future Kirkpatrick Boulevard and Mt Atkinson Road Intersection
The Kirkpatrick Boulevard and Mt Atkinson Road Intersection design works are underway. Designing a signalised intersection is complicated and requires input and approvals from various authorities including Council, Department of Planning and Transport, and the electrical authority.
This intersection will ultimately connect Highline Blvd within Grandview, with Kirkpatrick Boulevard within Mt Atkinson.
Subject to approvals, construction on this new signalized intersection is anticipated to commence next year, with this intersection anticipated to open in 2026-27.
