We partnered with Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) to deliver the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade in Melbourne's south eastern growth corridor.
Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road is a key north-south arterial route through the City of Casey in Melbourne's outer south east connecting South Gippsland Highway to the freeway network and Narre Warren. It plays a critical role in the local road network, providing network connectivity for the established areas of Narre Warren, Cranbourne and the fast-growing suburb of Cranbourne East. It also provides a key link between South Gippsland Highway, Princes Highway and the Monash Freeway.
The Project saw the duplication of the remaining two-lane, single-carriageway section of Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road from two lanes to four / six lanes over four kilometres, extending from Thompsons Road to South Gippsland Highway. The project also included the duplication of approximately 600 m of Berwick-Cranbourne Road from Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road to Broad Oak Drive.
10 intersections were upgraded, a signalised pedestrian crossing was added, road safety barriers were installed, and 9 km of new shared use paths were constructed on both sides of the road.
The project is the fifth MRPV contract undertaken by McConnell Dowell. The others being the Echuca Moama Bridge, the Mordialloc Freeway, the Healesville - Koo Wee Rup Road Upgrade and the Epping Road Upgrade.
Speaking after completion of the project, Tim Smith, Senior Project Manager for Major Road Projects Victoria, said...
MRPV have worked closely with MCD to overcome numerous challenges on the NWC Project. These have included working collaboratively to optimise construction issues including poor subgrade, utility relocations and traffic management solutions.
The project has been delivered on time and the outcome for the community is already being realised with greater certainty of travel outcomes, particularly for those in the numerous schools that are located near NWC Road.
