Roundabout at Caroline Springs Boulevard and Rockbank Middle Road

The roundabout at Caroline Springs Boulevard and Rockbank Middle Road is currently one of busiest intersections in the City of Melton. There are traffic delays at the roundabout and there are safety concerns for pedestrians and cyclists.

Installing traffic lights will help control vehicle movements, manage congestion during peak periods and provide safe crossing locations for pedestrians and cyclists, thereby encouraging walking and cycling.

The project will include:

Removal of existing roundabout
An expansion and realignment of the road
Installation of traffic signals
Landscaping
New public lighting
Underground services relocations (electricity, water, gas, and communications)

Construction began in late November 2023.

Traffic changes - Caroline Springs Boulevard and Rockbank Middle Road intersection
To ensure the safety of the work crew and road users, we will be closing the Caroline Springs Boulevard and Rockbank Middle Road intersection between 8pm and 5am each night. The road will be reopened during the day at the end of each shift.

Traffic management and detours will be in place during the closure. Detour map below.

Once these works are complete Caroline Springs Boulevard will be open to two lanes each way, however Rockbank Middle Road will remain left in and left out only. We are reliant on relevant authorities to turn on the traffic lights to fully open the intersection.
