Works have started on the Gisborne Road and Holts Lane Intersection in Bacchus Marsh which services about 5000 vehicles every day.
Bunninyong MP Geoff Howard said the works would see a redesigned intersection as well as new line markings and widened pedestrian access.
“Also included are upgraded footpaths (including) a new link on the north-western corner and a new traffic island on Holts Lane (east of Gisborne Road) to separate traffic lanes and improve safety,” Mr Howard said.
A reduced 40km/h speed limit will apply during the works which are expected to be finished by the middle of the year.
