Eurambeen-Streatham Road and Glenelg Highway roundabout

Overview

The new roundabout will slow vehicles to safe speeds and provide safer turning movements for trucks turning north at the intersection.

Further safety improvements at the intersection include a reduced speed limit of 80km/h through the intersection and the installation of street lighting to improve visibility at night.

This project is funded by the Australian Government and the Victorian Government’s Safer Intersections program and will deliver a safer intersection for all road users. 

Update – April 2025

Preliminary works, including site establishment and the construction of temporary pavement will start in mid-April. Following the completion of these early works, major construction of the intersection upgrade will start in May. Works are expected to take up to six months, weather permitting. 

Crews will be on site from Monday to Friday, between 7am and 6pm, with the possibility of some weekend works.

Traffic management will include lane closures and reduced speed limits to protect the safety of crews and road users. Road users are encouraged to plan their journey to minimise disruptions.

Please note: dates and timeframes of these works are dependent on a range of factors, including favourable weather and site conditions.

Benefits of the upgrade

• Improved intersection for all motorists, including heavy vehicles
• Reduction of risk and severity of crashes
• Safer movements for heavy vehicles turning north at the intersection

Background

This is a busy intersection for local farmers and freight travelling through the area.

During the five-year period between mid-2014 and mid-2019, this intersection was the site of four crashes, including one death and one serious injury.

Approximately 1500 vehicles travel the Glenelg Highway daily, with heavy vehicles accounting for 22 per cent of the traffic volume. Approximately 230 vehicles travel on Eurambeen-Streatham Road daily, with heavy vehicles accounting for 47 per cent of the traffic volume.

Research shows that roundabouts can reduce fatal and serious injury crashes at intersections by up to 85 per cent.

Environment

The intersection is home to the Hoary Sunray, an endangered species of flora.

During the planning phase, the roundabout and approaches were relocated to ensure the upgrade and construction works do not impact any Hoary Sunray plants. Protecting the endangered flora will be a key focus during the delivery of this project.
