Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) Sunbury Road Upgrade
Sunbury Road Upgrade
Trafman Solutions played an integral part in the delivery of the Sunbury Road Upgrade project for the client, Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV).
The project required the duplication of Sunbury Road, including a second bridge over Jacksons Creek, and upgrading key intersections.
The Challenge
Managing High-Risk Traffic Conditions During a Major Road Duplication
The Sunbury Road Upgrade required Trafman Solutions to manage a demanding and high-risk traffic environment while Major Road Projects Victoria carried out significant construction works. Sunbury Road is a heavily used arterial road that accommodates high traffic volumes and large oversized vehicles every day. The duplication of the road, the construction of a second bridge over Jacksons Creek, and multiple intersection upgrades created a constantly changing work zone that required careful planning and precise traffic control.
The challenge called for a traffic management partner that could maintain worker and motorist safety, ensure smooth traffic flow, and support construction crews working behind barriers. Consistent on-site communication, experienced traffic controllers, and advanced safety innovations were essential in order to reduce risk, protect workers from live lanes, and minimise disruption to the community throughout the life of the project.

Expert Services We Delivered
Traffic Control
This was the primary service provided. Trafman supplied a consistent crew of Traffic Controllers for the entire duration of the project. Their responsibilities included managing high traffic flow, guiding oversized vehicles, maintaining safe site access, and ensuring minimal disruption to motorists.
Traffic Planning & Consultation
With a dedicated Project Manager on-site, Trafman delivered expert traffic planning, problem-solving, and coordination. The Project Manager worked closely with MRPV and contractors to address traffic challenges, develop safe work strategies, and optimise staging. This level of access and consultation was highlighted as a key achievement in an independent review.
Signage
Given traffic controllers, barriers, lane management, and live roadwork conditions, compliant temporary signage would have been essential. Although not explicitly stated, this service naturally supports the traffic management framework on a major road upgrade.
Stocks
Although not listed as a standalone service category, the case study clearly identifies Trafman using and supplying specialised safety equipment, including: BOSS Units (Boots Off Sealed Surfaces) to keep Traffic Controllers out of live lanes Speed Detectors Traffic Radars These support Trafman’s Stock and Safety Equipment capabilities, aligning with their Stock service offering.

Results
Ensuring Safe Operations, Steady Traffic, and Reliable On-Site Support
The Sunbury Road Upgrade was delivered with strong safety performance, improved traffic flow and a highly coordinated on-site working environment.
Trafman Solutions provided consistent support throughout the project, enabling construction to proceed efficiently while maintaining safe conditions for workers, motorists and the surrounding community.
Efficiency
Our traffic management approach significantly reduced delays and minimised disruptions to daily traffic. With major works scheduled at night and construction crews supported behind protective barriers, the project progressed smoothly without unnecessary stoppages.
Consistent staffing and proactive onsite management ensured fast problem solving and uninterrupted workflow for all contractors involved.
Safety
Safety outcomes exceeded expectations through the use of advanced technologies and strategic planning. BOSS Units removed traffic controllers from live lanes, and speed detectors and radars provided immediate alerts when vehicles approached at unsafe speeds.
These measures reduced risk for workers and created a safer, more controlled environment throughout all stages of the upgrade.
