The $21.8 million Plenty Road duplication has been completed with two lanes of traffic now available for the community of South Morang.   The 2.4 km duplication from Gordons Rd to Riverdale Boulevard also includes bicycle lanes and bus priority lanes to improve alternative transport connections in the North.   The upgrade also allows for future traffic growth with the wide central median able to accommodate a third lane each way if needed in future years.  

Landscaping will be done in autumn to promote growth and will involve planting isolated areas in the median and some areas on the sides of the road with a mix of ground covers, shrubs and trees.
