Bacchus Marsh Intersection Upgrades
We're upgrading two major intersections in Bacchus Marsh.
Underway
Major works continuing
October 2026 Update
Main Street and Grant Street Intersection
We’ve removed the roundabout at Main Street and Grant Street/ Gisborne Road and replaced it with traffic lights and signalised pedestrian crossings, which are now operating and improving safety.
The new intersection features additional lanes that improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and provide safer, more convenient crossing opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists.
Over the coming months, we'll continue with finishing works which includes:
- finalising a permanent power supply for street lighting
- final line marking and signage installation.
Works at the Station Street and Griffith Street intersection to build additional lanes and add pedestrian crossings are ongoing until early 2027.
Station Street and Griffiths Street Intersection
We’re continuing to upgrade the Station Street/Griffith Street and Grant Street/Parwan Road Intersection by:
- replacing the existing single lane roundabout with a dual lane roundabout
- adding pedestrian crossings at Griffith Street and Parwan Road
- introducing a right turn ban for vehicles travelling from South Maddingley Road onto Parwan Road.
Permanent Parking Changes
To create the space needed to upgrade the intersection and add new turning lanes, some on-street car park bays will be permanently removed along Main Street and Grant Street.
This includes:
- on the eastbound side of Main Street between Gisborne Road and Gell Street, from Sunday 9 August 2026
- on the eastbound side of Main Street between Clarinda Street and Gisborne Road from late 2026
- along the southbound direction of Grant Street between Main Street and Millbank Street from late 2026.
New parking
Once the roundabout of Main Street and Grant Street is removed and signalised for vehicles and pedestrians, we’ll remove the existing pedestrian crossing on Main Street between Gisborne Road and Gell Street near the police station.
Once the pedestrian crossing is removed, we’ll use that space for additional on-street car park bays along:
- the westbound direction in front of the police station
- the eastbound direction on Main Street.
These offset car parks will be in place by early 2027.
Bus impacts: Routes 433 and 434
The bus stop on the corner of Main Street and Gisborne Road (ID: 37740) will remain closed until late 2026. During this time, please use the bus stop at Bacchus Marsh Village/Bennett Street (ID: 47225).
Right turn ban at South Maddingley Road
From late 2026 once the new traffic island on South Maddingley Road has been constructed, motorists exiting South Maddingley Road will only be permitted to turn left onto Parwan Road or use Mitchem Street to turn right onto Parwan Road.
This permanent change will improve safety and reduce congestion with the additional traffic lanes.
How this may impact you
Working hours
Most of these activities will take place at night from Sunday to Thursday between 8pm and 6am to minimise disruption to the community, road users and businesses.
Day works will occur between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays between 7am and 1pm.
These works are expected to generate some noise, dust and vibrations. We’ll monitor these impacts to ensure they’re kept to a minimum.
We'll work closely with impacted businesses and residents to provide additional information on works, timing and how we propose to manage the expected disruptions.
Access to businesses and driveways will be maintained at all times.
Two intersections in Bacchus Marsh will be upgraded at:
- Station Street/Griffith Street, and
- Grant Street/Parwan Road.
The intersection upgrades will improve road safety, enhance traffic flow, reduce congestion, and provide better crossing opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists. It will also improve access to the Bacchus Marsh Station precinct.
This upgrade will ensure that the intersections are prepared to handle increased traffic volumes for the next decade.
Station Street/Griffith Street Intersection and Grant Street/Parwan Road
The upgrade will:
- replace the existing single lane roundabout with a dual lane roundabout
- add pedestrian crossings at Griffith Street and Parwan Road
- introduce a right turn ban for vehicles travelling from South Maddingley Road onto Parwan Road.

To deliver the intersection upgrade, we need to remove some car spaces on Grant and Main streets. Removing parking will create the space needed to improve the intersection and add new turning lanes.
