URGENT UPDATE: Major roadworks are set to disrupt traffic at the Ballan Road intersection starting this week, potentially adding an extra 20 minutes to travel times. Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly as significant closures will take effect.
Effective January 15-16, 2025, McGrath Road north at Ballan Road will be closed from 9 AM to 5 PM. Access to McGrath Road north will only be available via Bolton Road during this period.
Further disruptions are anticipated as McGrath Road north will remain closed from 5 AM on January 19 until late 2026. Additionally, the Ballan, Greens, and McGrath roads roundabout will experience full closures from 9 PM to 5 AM on multiple dates: January 18-22, January 28-30, and February 2-6.
Authorities stress the importance of heeding these changes to avoid delays. Commuters should stay informed and consider alternative routes during this extensive upgrade process. For the latest updates, visit www.bigbuild.vic.gov.au/ballanroadupgrade.
