Vic Roads Information

We’re upgrading the intersection of Ryans Road and Wattletree Road in Eltham North to improve safety and pedestrian access to bus stops and schools.

From Sunday 23 to Thursday 27 June, crews will work between 8:00pm and 5:00am to improve drainage between the kerb and retaining walls along Ryans Road. We’re completing these works at night to minimise disruptions to traffic and keep crews safe.

Please note, these dates and times are subject to favourable weather conditions.

During night works, you can expect:

·       Lane closures on Ryans Road and Wattletree Road with traffic management controllers directing drivers.

·       Low to medium levels of noise. We’ll complete the noisiest works as early in the evening as possible. Crews use modern equipment to reduce noise, however the works will unavoidably emit some noise and light. For the safety of road users and workers on site, reversing beepers are a requirement on all machinery.

·       A reduced 40km/h speed limit to keep crews safe.

What’s next

The majority of remaining works will be completed during the day between 9:30am and 3:30pm; Mondays to Fridays with no works scheduled on public holidays. During day works crews will work on the roadside and lanes will remain open on Ryans Road and Wattletree Road.

Works at Ryans Road and Wattletree Road are expected to be completed by mid-2024.

Temporary bus stop closure

The northbound bus stop at Ryans Road/Parry Road will be temporarily closed during works. For more information, please visit ptv.vic.gov.au
