This project is now complete!

Wyndham City  has completed a comprehensive $8.5 million upgrade of Old Melbourne Road, Rothwell Road, and McLeans Road in Little River.

Features

This is the first of three road upgrades planned for Little River, with stage one now complete:

Stage one (completed): complete rebuild of Old Melbourne Road (between Little River and Little River Road) and Rothwell Road (between Old Melbourne Road to McLeans Road) with sealed lanes and shoulders, and drainage works.

Stages two and three*: will include upgrades to McLeans Road (between Flinders Street and Rothwell Road) and

Rothwell Road (between Flinders Street and McLeans Road)

*These stages are subject to future funding.

Benefits

• Enhanced safety: the addition of sealed shoulders and the reconstruction of key roads will greatly improve road safety for all users.
• Smoother traffic flow: the upgrades will facilitate smoother and safer traffic movement, reducing congestion and making travel more efficient.
• Reduced maintenance costs: the new road surfaces will require less frequent maintenance, resulting in long-term cost savings.

These important upgrades address the significant growth in traffic seen in recent years, ensuring that Little River’s road infrastructure can safely accommodate increased traffic movement now and in the future.

This important project is a key part of Wyndham City’s Connecting Wyndham program, which is creating a safer, more efficient, and connected transport network for residents and visitors alike.
