The Lathams Road Upgrade project duplicated Lathams Road and Rutherford Road and widened roundabouts at Oliphant Way and Frankston-Gardens Drive. In addition, two intersections at Stephenson and Colemans Roads were upgraded to traffic lights and the Frankston-Dandenong Road. A new bridge over Peninsula Link has been constructed and new safety features implemented along the whole project including the construction of centre medians and installation of safety barriers.

Key Achievements

  • Utilities relocation. Winslow challenged the reference design on numerous occasions, collaborating with MRPV to achieve significant scope reduction for utilities relocation scope across multiple USP’s. This helped to remove critical path utility relocation works and provide value for money outcomes in redesign.
  • Thinking outside the box. in developing an option to replace the Boggy Creek drain, instead of providing a ‘like for like’ box culvert, Winslow has developed a piped solution that will reduce construction time and minimise disruption to stakeholders.
  • Environmental and sustainability management. The project was certified at an ‘Excellent level’ for its ‘As Built’ Rating from the Infrastructure Sustainability Council. The team also developed, trialed, and implemented several innovations for the industry including Polyrok, a recycled plastic aggregate.
