We’re adding an extra lane on Childs Road between Beaumont Crescent and Prince of Wales Avenue, replacing the roundabout at Bowman Drive to traffic lights and building a new bridge over Darebin Creek.
Overview
As part of the Childs Road Upgrade, we’ll:
- add an extra lane in each direction between Beaumont Crescent and Prince of Wales Avenue

- build a new bridge over Darebin Creek and upgrade the existing bridge
- add a pedestrian operated traffic light to the crossing at the left turn from Dalton Road onto Childs Road
- build new shared walking and cycling paths
