Planning for future Ballan Rd & Armstrong Rd intersection upgrade underway

The Victorian Government is getting on with the Ballan Road and Armstrong Road intersection upgrade in Wyndham Vale, with planning works now underway.

The community is also asked to have their say, including their views on safety, traffic flow and other considerations for the future upgrade.

Feedback from this consultation period will help inform planning and shape design options for the intersection. Submissions can be made until 25 October 2026 via Engage Victoria.

Initial planning is due to be completed in late 2027, and it will be used to inform government decisions on future funding for the upgrade.

Key activities to be undertaken during the planning stage include:

• Developing a project design
• Detailed traffic analysis and modelling, to better understand the future growth of the area and the demand this will place on the road network
• Environmental investigations to understand flora, fauna and tree species

A range of site assessments will also be carried out to help inform planning, and these works may require traffic management at times, including lane closures, stop/slow traffic and reduced speeds. The project team will ensure disruption is minimised and busy periods will be avoided.

The future Ballan Road and Armstrong Road intersection upgrade will improve safety, reduce travel time and increase road capacity.
