We’ve completed upgrades to major intersections to improve traffic flow on Hoddle Street and Punt Road.
Overview
The Hoddle Street and Punt Road corridor is a critical north-south link to the east of the city and is Melbourne’s busiest arterial road with 330,000 people travelling along and across it every day. We started work at the Punt Road intersections with Swan Street and Olympic Boulevard in October 2018 to build Victoria’s first Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI). We also improved walking access at Brunton Avenue and Punt Road.
The new CFI was introduced in March 2019 on Olympic Boulevard, with construction of a new twin-platform tram stop in late May marking the end of major works. Works on this project were completed in September 2019, two months ahead of schedule.
These significant changes to one of Melbourne’s busiest intersection provide more ‘go time’ at green lights, improved traffic flow and travel times on Hoddle Street and Punt Road and safer, easier access to public transport.
