South Road Upgrade

Project Overview

This project will improve five key intersections along South Road between Warrigal Road and Nepean Highway. This 4.4-kilometer stretch already accommodates approximately 40,000 vehicles each day. Upgrading these intersections will improve traffic flow and reduce bottlenecks that road users currently face. The existing off-road bike path along Nepean Highway between South Road and Cummins Road will also be upgraded enhancing overall safety and user experience for all road users.

The works include an additional right-lanes to improve access to both Nepean Hwy, and an East Boundary Rd modification of existing intersections, installing signalised pedestrian traffic lights. Works at Nepean Highway and Taylor / Jasper intersections have been completed with balance of works due by the end of 2022.

The Victorian Government is funding this project, which is part of the Major Roads Projects under Victoria's Big Build. The project was announced in November 2018, and construction commenced in 2021. The upgrade is due to be completed early 2023.

Project Scope

MBB worked closely with Negri Contractors throughout the development phase (TOC) of the project to provide expertise in various areas, such as bid management, design value management, utilities management, and commercial guidance. Their collaborative efforts have ensured that the project has progressed smoothly and efficiently.

As the project moves into its delivery phase, MBB have continued to provide critical support to Negri and MRPV. Specifically, we lead the design and commercial management efforts,providing project management, design management and procurement support. MBB's extensive experience and knowledge continue to provide value to the project team, addressing challenges as they arise during the delivery phase, ensuring the project's success.
