Hall Road East Upgrade— $42m CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, GEOTECHNICAL, SUSTAINABILITY AND TRAFFIC The Hall Road East Upgrade saw the addition of an extra lane in each direction between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway, upgrade to five intersections, new walking and cycling paths, and installation of centre median and kerb-side safety barriers. WGA's scope included the transformation of the existing Hall Road, Evans Road and Cranbourne Frankston Road intersections into a single signalised intersection. Consistent with other Major Road Projects Victoria projects, the main objective was to improve traffic flow and safety for the road users. WGA undertook the SIDRA Traffic modelling of the proposed layout to optimise the reference design and confirm the traffic throughput achieved the project targets.
Caroline Springs Boulevard, the Crossing and the Esplanade Intersection Design— $5.4m CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, GEOTECHNICAL AND TRAFFIC City of Melton engaged WGA as the design lead for the intersection upgrade of Caroline Springs Boulevard with the Crossing and the Esplanade, including detailed design of traffic, civil, drainage and geotechnical engineering services. The project included upgrade of the existing roundabout to a new signalised intersection in the suburb of Caroline Springs in Melbourne’s west. The objective was to provide controlled crossing locations for pedestrians and cyclists, promoting walking and cycling as a viable and safe alternative to driving, and to control vehicle movements at the intersection reducing congestion during peak periods.
Burnside Council City Wide Traffic Model— TRAFFIC
With considerable growth planned on the fringes of the City of Burnside, concerns about increasing traffic due to the surrounding arterial network approaching capacity triggered the need for council to undertake future planning and analysis. WGA developed a hybrid AIMSUN microsimulation model allowing accurate analysis of impacts of the proposed development. The model has been used to analyse Local Area Traffic Management treatments with great success. It sped up the council process as the outcomes of treatments were able to be visualised to elected members, and decisions could be made in a timely manner.
