Information sessions on the proposed upgrade of the Point Cook Road and Sneydes Road intersection have taken place, despite the project’s recent delay.
The notorious intersection in Point Cook was set to receive traffic lights by early next year after the project was funded in the last state budget.
However works on installing the lights, along with a new pedestrian crossing, duplicating lanes on Point Cook Road and upgrading paths, line markings and street lighting, are now set to begin in early 2024 and won’t be completed until the end of next year.
The updated plans were detailed in information sessions at Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre on August 2 and August 5.
The latest delays have caused frustration, with Wyndham mayor Sunsan McIntyre among those who have been critical.
Point Cook MP Mathew Hilakari said pre-construction work would start soon and that the upgrades were moving forward.
“I’m glad to see this project taking the next step, and with works in the area increasing this month, there is likely to be some traffic delays that residents should plan for.”
