Project Overview As part of Victoria’s Big Build, Major Road Projects Victoria committed to upgrading the road network in Pakenham through transport infrastructure improvements. These improvements include the removal of level crossings and roundabouts, road and signalisation upgrades. The latter involved upgrades to the freeway interchanges and the installation of new public lights and traffic lights at intersections. Furthermore, the development of new pedestrian and cycling paths aim to increase connectivity within the Pakenham community. The primary drive of this project was to address congestion issues, improving traffic flow, efficiency and safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists, while also facilitating better connections to and from the Princes Freeway, the expanding Pakenham Industrial Precinct and the town centre.
