Funding to deliver a business case and feasibility study to determine the preferred bypass route for Narre Warren Village.

A bypass is required to revitalise the Narre Warren Village shopping precinct and activity centre, improve active and public transport links to the Village, and reduce through traffic by upgrading the connection between Pound Road, Shrives Road and Cranbourne Road.

Two potential bypass options have been identified for further detailed investigation:

Option 1
• Duplication and widening of Pound Road and Shrives Road between Hallam Road and Centre Road
• Widening Centre Road and Fullard Road to four lanes between Shrives Road and Cranbourne Road
• Two new bridges over Hallam Main Drain and the drainage easement
• Converting the Pound Road / Shrives Road roundabout to traffic signals
• Upgrading intersections at Centre Road / Shrives Road and Fullard Road / Cranbourne Road
• New shared paths

Option 2
• Duplication and widening of Pound Road and Shrives Road to four lanes
• A new direct road connection between Shrives Road and Fullard Road along the south side of the drainage easement
• One new bridge over Hallam Main Drain
• Converting the Pound Road / Shrives Road roundabout to traffic signals
• Upgrading the Fullard Road / Cranbourne Road intersection
• Upgrading existing roads and bridges to redirect traffic onto the bypass and discourage through traffic on Webb Street
• New shared paths
