Hall Road & Western Port Highway Upgrade Compulsory Acquisition Update
Compulsory Acquisition: 19 November 2020
The Victorian and Federal Governments have committed funding for the Hall Road and Western Port Highway Upgrade which will include compulsory acquisitions for properties affected on 5.2km of Hall Road between McCormicks Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road together with upgrading two Western Port Highway roundabouts to improve safety on the Western Port Highway.
The Project will increase traffic lanes on Hall Road to two lanes in each direction between McCormicks Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road, upgrade intersections at McCormicks Road, Taylors Road, Evans Road, Western Port Highway and Cranbourne-Frankston Road, build a new shared walking and cycling path along Hall Road and upgrade two Western Port Highway roundabouts at the intersections of Ballarto Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road with traffic lights to manage traffic flow in the area and for safety reasons.
Various site investigations along the proposed alignment are currently being undertaken to assess the area with construction expected to commence in early 2022 and be completed by late 2024.
