Princes Highway intersection upgrades
About
Several priority intersections along the Princes Highway in Cardinia Shire will be upgraded over the next 3 years as part of our Better Local Roads Project.
This key infrastructure project will provide safer travel for all road users, while reducing congestion and catering to future increases in traffic.
The works to upgrade Princes Highway intersections at Glismann Road/Beaconsfield Avenue and O’Neil Road in Beaconsfield have been completed. Both intersections are now fully signalised (all traffic lights switched on and operating).
