Findon Road extension

Construction of the Williamsons Road to Danaher Drive section included:

• 650 metres of new road
• left in/left out T-junction at Williamsons Road (with an exception for public buses)
• a walking and cycling underpass of Findon Road, aligned to the existing Yan Yean Pipe Track
• a road bridge over the underpass extension to Mernda
• kerb and channel, drainage, line marking, signage, lighting and landscaping.

Apart from the new road, the project also includes construction of associated infrastructure such as:

• walking and cycling paths
• street lighting
• drainage
• traffic lights
• landscaping
• signage
• new bridges.

The Findon Road extension is a project connecting Findon Road to Plenty Road.

The City of Whittlesea is building a 650m section of new road from Williamsons Road to Danaher Drive.

A private developer is building the remaining section from Danaher Drive to Plenty Road.

The Findon Road extension will provide residents with an important new east-west link between the Hume Freeway in Epping and Plenty Road in South Morang.

This will ease congestion and shorten commute times.

The extension will provide residents with easier access to work, education, shopping, public transport and recreation facilities.

The City of Whittlesea’s population is rapidly growing, putting pressure on the region’s road network.

The Findon Road extension completes a major missing link in our road network.

It provides direct access to the M80 freeway from Plenty Road.

It will help alleviate traffic congestion on other local roads.

The road opened with temporary traffic signals in place at the intersection of Findon Road and Williamsons Road.

Permanent signals will be installed in the 2023-24 financial year.

The road is expected to remain open throughout the installation.
