Taylors Road Corridor Upgrade

Melton City Council has committed to improving road safety along the Taylors Road corridor in key established locations including Caroline Springs, Burnside and Taylors Hill, as well as rapidly expanding communities like Aintree, Bonnie Brook, Fraser Rise, and Deanside. Works will include implementing crucial infrastructure upgrades and alleviating congestion along the Taylors Road corridor, a vital east-west link within the city of Melton.

As a key component of the Taylors Road corridor upgrade, the intersection of Taylors Road and City Vista Court will be upgraded to transform an existing roundabout into a four-way intersection, with traffic lights.

Outcome

Civil works contractors Rokon were in search of a TL-3 barrier solution for the Taylors Rd Corridor upgrade. When tendering for the contract, Saferoads T-Lok Barrier offering had a significant advantage over competitor barriers. The inclusion of the steel wedge (engineered angle pieces) in-between the barriers made it possible to deploy a continuous run of T-Lok Barriers on a tighter radius, accommodating the curvature of the road, and offering continuous protection to the worksite.

Approximately 600m of Saferoads T-Lok Barriers were deployed by Road Safety Rental along Taylors Rd and City Vista Court whilst the roundabout was removed and the upgraded intersection was completed. The inclusion of Saferoads T-Lok steel wedge solution made it possible to deploy a continuous run of T-Lok concrete barriers, maximising the safe working area and improving efficiency during the staged intersection deployment.
