Project background
Ferntree Gully Road is an important arterial road in Melbourne’s east, stretching between Oakleigh and Ferntree Gully. Approximately 40,000 vehicles pass through this section of Ferntree Gully Road every day.
In 2019, Knox City Council opened the Henderson Road bridge to connect the north and south sections of Henderson Road over the Corhanwarrabul Creek. Since the bridge opened, traffic on Henderson Road has increased significantly, particularly for freight and heavy vehicles accessing commercial properties in the area.
In 2022, the Department of Transport and Planning upgraded the nearby Henderson Road and Kelletts Road Intersection to help improve traffic flow and travel times and allow safer movements in and out of Henderson Road.
Next steps
Planning and design work is underway including environmental and site investigations, traffic modelling, and planning studies.
We expect to complete initial planning and design work to inform the intersection upgrade in 2025.
Timelines and construction milestones for the intersection upgrade will be determined through this planning work.
