Taylors Road and Plumpton Road Traffic Lights

  • Project scheduleStart late 2024 with expected completion late 2025
Project overview

The intersection of Taylors Road and Plumpton Road has been identified as a priority upgrade due to high traffic volumes and associated safety hazards.  Council will be carrying out upgrade works to transform the existing T-intersection into a four-way intersection, with traffic lights.  This upgrade is a key component of the broader Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade Plan, which aims to accommodate the future growth of our city while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of residents.

Key features of the project include:
  • Expansion and realignment of the road to improve traffic flow and safety
  • Installation of new traffic lights to regulate traffic and enhance safety at the intersection
  • Pedestrian crossings to allow for safe and accessible pedestrian crossings as well as support active transport options
  • Installation of public lighting to increase visibility and enhance safety
  • Drainage improvements
  • New landscaping
  • Relocation of services such as electricity, water, gas, and communications will be placed underground for durability and safety
      
Project timeline

Construction on Taylors Road and Plumpton Road signalised intersection/traffic lights project is due to commence in late 2024 and is expected to be completed by late 2025.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to deliver this important upgrade. 

Plumpton Road traffic changes

From 6 January until 20 February 2025, Plumpton Road will be closed at Taylors Road, Fraser Rise. 

Taylors Road will remain open, local traffic can use Plumpton Road and a detour route will be in place via Melton Highway, Gourlay and Leakes Roads. Please see detour below.

Plumpton Road at Taylors Road will re-open on Friday, 21 February, and traffic on Taylors Road will be switched to newly completed lanes. To do this, we will use contraflow on Taylors Road near Plumpton Road between 9.30am and 4pm on Thursday 20 February and there will be some delays.  

During the closure of Plumpton Road, we completed earthworks, service relocations, installed footpaths, shared use paths, curbing and completed asphalting on the northern side of the project.

Please take care around the worksite and follow directions from traffic controllers and signage at all times.
