As part of the Thompson Road Upgrade, we've:

• removed the level crossing on Thompsons Road near Merinda Park Train Station
• duplicated Thompsons Road between Frankston-Dandenong Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road, making it at least two traffic lanes in each direction
• added an additional lane in each direction between Frankston-Dandenong Road and Marriott Boulevard, and between Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road
• replaced the roundabouts at Western Port Highway, McCormicks Road and Evans Road with traffic lights
• built new traffic lights at Merinda Park Boulevard to provide access to Merinda Park station
• built new shared walking and cycling paths along the 10.7km duplicated length of Thompsons Road between Frankston-Dandenong Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road
• landscaped the new Thompsons Road, spreading 16,000 cubic metres of recycled timber mulch and planting 449,000 new plants, improving and maintaining the flora, fauna and ecosystems
• replaced the roundabout at Thompsons and Frankston-Dandenong roads with traffic lights and widened the intersection.
