Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade Plan
The Taylors Road corridor is a vital east-west link within the City of Melton.
This key thoroughfare currently services the established areas of Caroline Springs, Burnside Heights, and Taylors Hill, as well as rapidly expanding communities like Aintree, Bonnie Brook, Fraser Rise, and Deanside.
There are a number of projects that constitute the Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade Plan. Please see below for more details on each project.
Projects on this page:
Project: Plumpton Road and Taylors Road Intersection
Council will transform the existing T-intersection into a four-way intersection, with traffic lights.
Project schedule starts late 2024 with expected completion early 2026.
Key features
October Update
The intersection at Taylors Road and Plumpton Road is under temporary traffic management with traffic cones and a 40km/h speed limit while we work to finalise landscaping, service connections and work with authorities responsible for connecting power and switching on the traffic lights. There may be further temporary disruptions to traffic.
Plumpton Road will reopen to traffic Wednesday 15 October 2025.
Due to safety reasons, right-hand turns from Plumpton Road into Taylors Road will not be permitted from Wednesday 15 October 2025.
Motorists will need to turn left at Taylors Road and drive to the Sinclairs Road roundabout, conduct a U-turn and continue their journey, or use alternate routes such as Leakes Road or Gourlay Road. The ‘No right-hand turn’ is expected to be in place until early 2026 until the traffic lights are switched on.
