Melbourne Road Intersection Upgrade is a project that was completed  for Hobsons Bay City Council. These works took place at the busy intersection of Melbourne Road and Perry Street, Williamstown.

This intersection is a main thoroughfare for pedestrians accessing central Williamstown and Dennis Reserve (park featuring lawn bowls, tennis courts and walking track) from local schools and railway station.

The main feature of this intersection upgrade is a newly constructed raised pavement. This assists with slowing of traffic for the pedestrian crossing making the intersection safer overall.
