“The intersection is one of Maiden Gully’s busiest and has also been the scene of a number of accidents involving traffic making turns to and from Edwards Road, particularly during peak periods,” VicRoads regional director Mal Kersting said. 

“Please observe the changed traffic conditions including work zone speed limits, for your own safety, the safety of other road users and the safety of our workers.”
