Goulburn Valley Highway (Wyndham Street) and Hayes Street safety improvements, Shepparton
Underway
Project update - June 2026
Works at the intersection of Goulburn Valley Highway (Wyndham Street) and Hayes Street in Shepparton are underway and expected to be completed mid-2026.
To minimise disruption, our crews are working during the day and occasionally at night, excluding public holidays and Friday and Saturday nights.
Crews have relocated water mains and are preparing the southbound lanes of the intersection for asphalting works.
Traffic impacts
From early June 2026 there will be changed traffic conditions on the Goulburn Valley Highway (Wyndham Street) and Hayes Street as follows:
- Crews will complete asphalting works on the northbound (Shepparton bound) lanes of the Goulburn Valley Highway. During this time all traffic will be directed to the southbound (Melbourne bound) lanes, with one lane used for travel in each direction.
- For everyone’s safety during this time, access to driveways located on the Goulburn Valley Highway near the worksite will be available as left-in and left-out only.
- Access to the Goulburn Valley Highway from Hayes Street will remain closed while crews are working in the northbound lanes. Detours will be in place for drivers wishing to access Hayes Street. Please follow detour signage and the direction of traffic controllers onsite.
- Reduced speed limits will remain in place and there will be no parking available within the worksite on the Goulburn Valley Highway.
Please plan ahead and allow an extra 5 minutes of travel time.
Overview
We’re installing safety improvements at the intersection of the Goulburn Valley Highway (Wyndham Street) and Hayes Street in Shepparton.
These upgrades will improve safety for all road users in this increasingly busy area close to the Victoria Park Lake precinct.
The safety upgrades will include:
- The installation of pedestrian signals across the Goulburn Valley Highway and Hayes Street to provide a safe crossing point for vulnerable road users including pedestrians and cyclists.
- Inclusion of signalised u-turn for vehicles to safely complete a u-turn on the Goulburn Valley Highway.
- Fully controlled turning movements for vehicles turning in and out of Hayes Street, improving safety for drivers.
- Raised safety platforms on the approaches to the lights on the Goulburn Valley Highway to encourage vehicles to slow down and increase visibility for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Replacement of the water main on Hayes Street.
- Improved drainage, signs and linemarking.
- New street lighting.
The project is funded by a joint investment from the Australian and Victorian Government under the Road Safety Program.
Once complete, these works will form part of the Greater Shepparton City Council’s planned Strategic Cycling Corridor from Shepparton Art Museum to Shepparton Railway Station.
Parking changes
Wherever possible, we have worked to minimise the impact to on-street parking as part of this project.
However, to ensure adequate road width for the upgrades and for the safety of those using the intersection, we need to install a permanent no standing zone between the Highway and Maude Street on the southern side of Hayes Street (approximately 130 metres), and for a shorter distance on the northern side of Hayes Street (approximately 20 metres).
Other projects in Shepparton
We are also upgrading the intersection of the Goulburn Valley Highway and Graham Street.
Together, these projects support Shepparton’s continued growth by improving safety, strengthening connections and ensuring the transport network can meet the needs of the community now and into the future.
