Works Complete To Upgrade Stud Road Intersection
The Albanese and Allan Labor governments have made a busy intersection in Dandenong North safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
New traffic lights and safer pedestrian crossings have been installed at the intersection of Stud Road and Mcfees Road, making journeys safer for those travelling to and from the Dandenong Stadium and Dandenong Creek Trail.
As part of the works, the right-turning lane from Stud Road into Mcfees Road has been extended, and direct access between Mcfees Road and the two Stud Road service roads has been closed to improve flow at the intersection.
New access points on the Stud Road service road have been introduced, connecting properties between Judith Street and Mcfees Road, and between Mcfees Road and Cheam Street with Stud Road.
Locals will benefit from improved public transport, with upgrades to bus stop facilities to make them more accessible.
Street lighting is also being improved at the intersection to ensure better visibility for all road users and clearer line marking has been installed to indicate ‘keep clear’ access for the Dandenong Stadium.
This project was delivered through a $12.6 million joint investment by the Federal and Victorian governments through the Road Safety Program, with each government committing $6.3 million.
Crews are expected to return in March this year to start the construction of a shared user path connection for pedestrians and bike riders between the Mcfees Road intersection and the Dandenong Creek Trail.
As stated by Minister for Regional Development and Local Government, Kristy McBain MP:
“The Albanese Government is proud to partner with the Allan Government to deliver this critical $12.6 million upgrade for Dandenong North, ensuring that every parent, cyclist and pedestrian can make it to their destination safely.
“This investment through the Road Safety Program is about preventing future tragedies and providing the Dandenong North community with the safe infrastructure they have long called for and deserve.
“These essential safety improvements, from new traffic lights to dedicated pedestrian crossings, demonstrate our commitment to keeping Australians safe on our roads and delivering the infrastructure for Dandenong North that keeps pace with our growing communities.”
As stated by Member for Bruce, Julian Hill MP:
“Nothing can bring back those who have died or been injured over the years, but the many families who regularly use Dandenong Stadium and Stud Road will be safer now because of this project.
“I congratulate and thank everyone who has advocated so strongly for this project, including the previous Mayor Cr Lana Formoso and our local State MP Gabrielle Williams.
“Alongside the community, I am proud to have worked with the Albanese Labor Government to respond and secure funding for these safety improvements.”
As stated by Victorian Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Melissa Horne MP:
“Investments towards infrastructure improvements, like those we’ve seen at Stud Road and Mcfees Road, ensure safer travel for our most vulnerable road users.
“This busy intersection is now safer for everyone, including the pedestrians, bike riders and the 28,000 vehicles that travel along Stud Road every day.”
As stated by Victorian Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams:
“The brand-new pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Stud Road and McFees Road will make it easier and safer for locals in our community to access Dandenong Stadium and the Dandenong Creek Trail. I’m proud to have worked with the community to have delivered this important project, together.”
