Watsonia Town Square - End June / July Update

28 June 2024

Changes to traffic conditions along Watsonia Road from 1 July to 8 July 2024

Next week we're making the finishing touches to the surface of the new Watsonia Road intersection, with a stamped, brick-coloured finish which will make it safer and more visible for pedestrians.

Traffic conditions along Watsonia Road will change from Monday 1 July to 8 July.

The road will be closed one side at a time, and Watsonia Road will remain one-way towards Grimshaw Street. Traffic going towards Greensborough Highway will have a detour available via High Street (see map below).

  • We’re keeping the road one-way towards Grimshaw Street so that shoppers can still use the angle car parking in front of Watsonia Road shops.
  • Construction will temporarily take up an additional four parking spaces (between TT Charcoal Chicken and Burger Road) to make space to keep the road open while we work on the east side.

Other work in July

  • The footpath between the Morwell Avenue carpark and the RSL will be completed over 2 weeks.
  • We’ll be finishing trenches and kerbing around the new work.

Extreme weather can impact on construction plans, but we will keep you informed of any changes.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we take the next step towards completing Watsonia Road!
