Main Road and Barkly Street, Ballarat, intersection upgrade
We’re improving safety and installing fully-controlled right turn signals in Ballarat
Fully-controlled right turn signals will be installed at the intersection of Main Road and Barkly Street, Ballarat. The upgrade will increase safety for all road users, ease congestion and improve traffic flow at this busy intersection.
Fully-controlled right turn arrow lights will be installed on the north-west, south-west and north-east approaches. We’ll also update signage and line marking throughout the intersection.
Construction is planned in early October and works will take up to a week to complete, weather permitting.
To minimise impacts to businesses, residents and the wider community, we’ll be working at night, between 8pm and 5am, Sunday to Thursday. There is a possibility of weekend works, as required.
Single lane closures, delays of up to five minutes and a reduced speed limit will be in place during construction to protect the safety of crews and road users.
