Pakenham’s little engineers

They were stacking ’em in Pakenham as part of the Pakenham Roads Upgrade (PRU) school holiday fun at Let’s Brick Pakenham.

Sharing the school holiday fun at Pakenham Library last week, PRU teams were part of the celebrations with plenty of up-and-coming engineers, builders and planners.

The Big Build blocks were incredibly popular with the 200 attendees across the event, building up their own Pakenham bridges and roads just like the bigger engineers do.

Lego was the go as the kids set to work on creating the next great Big Build in Pakenham brick-by-brick. They were laying the foundation for their first construction projects while teams talked to plenty of parents about the works happening on the Pakenham Roads Upgrade.

From these little builds all the way up to the major projects in town this year, there are plenty of big things happening in Pakenham, with works on the Pakenham Roads Upgrade continuing to take shape.

McGregor Road has reopened and cars riding on the new bridge over the Princes Freeway, crews are now shifting attention to upgrading the McGregor Road city-bound freeway entry ramp and completing the new traffic light intersections at the Healesville-Kooweerup Road freeway interchange.

It’s all part of over $1 billion of major infrastructure works happening in Pakenham with the Pakenham Roads Upgrade, the recently completed Healesville-Kooweerup Road Upgrade and the Pakenham Level Crossing Removal.
