Waurn Ponds campus entrance upgrade works
As you may have noticed, work has commenced on upgrading the entrance points to the Waurn Ponds Campus, to alleviate traffic congestion and make it quicker, easier and safer to enter and exit the campus.
The campus entrance upgrades will involve:
- Installation of traffic signals at both intersections on Pigdons Road, at Alfred Deakin Drive (Entrance 1) and Nicol Drive North (Entrance 2)
- Traffic island delineation
- Service relocations and kerb widening
- New shared pathway connections
- Improved bicycle lanes along Pigdons Road and the internal connections
- Creation of a left turn lane for exiting via Entrance 2
- Essential remedial works to Boyd Waters (the lake), Lake Drive and the internal roundabout near Entrance 1.
The upgrade works are expected to take place between November 2018 and February 2019.
During construction, there will be changed traffic conditions along Pigdons Road, Lake Drive, Alfred Deakin Drive (Entrance 1) and Nicol Drive North (Entrance 2). The key impact period will be from 9 December when Entrance 1 closes. Traffic management personnel will be in place, and works will be planned to minimise disruption during peak times of campus entry and exit.
Please allow additional travel time for campus entry and exit, and any detours in place, during the construction period.
Refer to the project web page for more information on the work being conducted and changed traffic conditions during the construction period.
