Planning is progressing for the upgrade of the Point Cook Road and Central Avenue intersection in Altona Meadows to reduce travel times, improve safety and walking and cycling connections.

The intersection is a key connection to the Princes Freeway, used by nearly 28,000 vehicles a day. With congestion set to grow, travel times are expected to significantly increase, making it more difficult to travel around the area.

To cater for population growth and increase the efficiency of the intersection, the upgrade will:

• remove the existing roundabout and replace it with traffic lights
• add an outbound exit ramp to connect to the intersection
• add new lanes on Point Cook Road and Central Avenue near the intersection
• add pedestrian crossings and upgrade walking and cycling paths at the intersection.
