More than 10km of new lanes opening 2 June
On 2 June the remaining sections of the 10.7km of new lanes between Dandenong-Frankston and Berwick-Cranbourne Road will open.

While this marks the completion of all major construction, there will still be a need to do some finishing works that will require occasional lane closures until the end of 2019.

Community event
Join the Project Team to celebrate the end of major construction on Thompsons Road.
Bring the kids to enjoy Thomas the Tank Tours, visits from Fireman Sam and PJ Masks. There’ll also be a jumping castle, petting zoo, face painting, balloon twisting, a roving band and much more!

• When: Sunday 2 June
• Time: 11am to 2pm
• Where: Marriott Waters Shopping Centre carpark, corner Thompsons Road and Marriott Boulevard

No RSVP required. Complimentary food and drinks will be provided while they last.

What’s happening next?
• July 2019: The Cranbourne Outfall Drain works underneath Thompsons Road near Merinda Park Boulevard will be finished. We’ll then open the third lane in each direction between Marriott Boulevard and Evans Road.

• Mid-late 2019: Recycled timber mulch will be spread and 449,000 new plants will be planted along the new Thompsons Road.

• Late 2019: 10.7km of shared walking and cycling paths will be opened to provide better access to public facilities and major transport hubs.

• Early-mid 2020: New traffic lights at the intersection of Dandenong-Frankston Road and Thompsons Road will be opened to replace the roundabout.
