We’re upgrading Racecourse Road between Henry Street and Peet Street. The upgrade will build on benefits provided by the Stage 1 (Princes Freeway Interchange Upgrade), and other Big Build projects, the Level Crossing Removal Project and Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road Upgrades.

The Racecourse Road Upgrade includes:

• adding an extra lane on Racecourse Road between Peet Street and Henry Street
• upgrading the intersection at Bald Hill Road by replacing the roundabout with traffic lights
• upgrading the intersection at Railway Avenue and Campbell Street by adding traffic lights
• improving bus connections by reopening Railway Avenue for buses only to access the new Pakenham Station
• building new walking and shared use paths improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists and completing the missing link between Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road in the south and the new Pakenham Station in the north
• improving road safety by adding a centre median and safety barrier along Racecourse Road between Bald Hill Road and Railway Avenue, with access to businesses becoming left in and left out only.

The upgrade will:

• reduce travel times and increase traffic flow
• improve access to the freeway network and local industrial areas
• make it easier and safer for you to walk and cycle in the area.
