Princes Highway intersection upgrades in Traralgon

We’re upgrading two key intersections on the Princes Highway in Traralgon.

Project status:

Underway

Princes Highway and Bank Street intersection upgrade

The road upgrades at the Bank Street intersection are complete and traffic signal poles have been installed.

To install the traffic signals at Bank Street, they need to communicate with the new rail signalling system at the level crossing.

With the Gippsland Line Upgrade now finished, we are currently working with V/Line to design and implement the interlinking signalling system, including a new gated pedestrian railway crossing.

We expect the traffic signals and gated pedestrian crossing over the railway to be fully operational by early 2027.

Safety improvements include:

installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Princes Highway and Bank Street
a new signalised pedestrian crossing across the highway
a new gated pedestrian crossing across the railway line
an acceleration lane for traffic entering the highway - completed
a right-hand turn lane on Bank Street - completed
a longer right-turn lane from the highway on to Bank Street - completed
a footpath linking Bank Street to the Traralgon Golf Course - partially completed.

Princes Highway and Kosciuszko Street intersection upgrade

All major works to upgrade the Kosciuszko Street intersection are complete and the traffic signals are operational.

Safety improvements include:

installation of traffic signals at the intersection of the Princes Highway and Kosciuszko Street to balance traffic flow - completed
dedicated left and right-hand turn lanes on Kosciuszko Street for traffic entering the Princes Highway - complketed
turn lanes from the Princes Highway lengthened and controlled by green and red arrow traffic signals.

As part of this project, we have investigated solutions to provide safe pedestrian access across the rail line.

This includes a new footpath on the northern side of the highway from Kosciuszko Street to the Bank Street intersection (Traralgon Golf club entrance) which will provide safe and controlled pedestrian connectivity across the highway and railway line as part of the Princes Highway and Bank Street intersection upgrade project.

The new footpath will be completed in advance of the Bank Street traffic signals and gated pedestrian crossing being fully operational.

We will continue to keep the community updated as the projects progress.

Princes Highway and Breed Street intersection upgrade

We’ve upgraded two key intersections in Traralgon as part of the Princes Highway East – Princes Highway and Breed Street Intersection Upgrade project.

The works have improved access, connectivity and safety on the Princes Highway and Breed Street intersection and the Shakespeare Street (Hyland Highway) roundabout.
