Bacchus Marsh Intersection Upgrades
Underway
Major Road Projects Victoria is upgrading two major intersections in Bacchus Marsh on behalf of Transport Victoria:
- Grant Street/Parwan Road and Station Street/Griffith Street
- Main Street and Grant Street/Gisborne 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.
Grant Street/Parwan Road and Station Street/Griffith Street Intersection
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. The amount of car parks to be removed is still being confirmed.
If you’re a business owner, we’d like to hear from you. Please contact us on 1800 105 105 or email [email protected].
Upcoming investigations
To help inform planning, a range of site assessments will be undertaken. At times, there may be temporary lane closures and reduced speeds. Traffic disruption will be kept to a minimum and busy periods will be avoided, where possible.
Next steps and timeline
Detailed planning and design work is currently underway, as the intersection upgrades move towards construction. Key activities include:
- on-site investigations to test ground conditions
- refining the project design
- developing the construction approach
- environmental investigations to better understand flora, fauna and tree species.
- appointing a construction partner.
Planning and early works for the intersection upgrades are expected to be completed in late 2025. Major construction is expected to begin in 2026.
