Project status:
Complete
Update - November 2024
This project was completed in 2024.
Background
This intersection links Ballarat-Carngham Road and Learmonth Street and is critical connection point to Sebastopol, Lucas and Delacombe.
The former roundabout was often heavily congested at peak times and did not cater for Ballarat’s population growth.
Approximately 20,000 vehicles use this intersection each day, including around 1200 vehicles per hour during the busiest times.
About the upgrade
The upgrade included:
- replacing the roundabout with traffic lights and dedicated turning lanes
- adding bicycle boxes at traffic signals
- extending the central medians and installing dedicated U-turn areas
- installing new lighting and landscaping.
