Fitzsimons Lane is a north-south arterial road located 17km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. To the south it covers a primarily suburban context, while over the Yarra River it transitions into the verdant Nillumbik Green Wedge, characterised by steep ridges, sloping hills, sprawling reserves and leafy bushland.
Between 2021 and 2023, Major Road Projects Victoria’s Fitzsimons Lane Upgrade aimed to widen the road to reduce congestion, improve safety and enable safer walking and cycling nearby. BKK Architects was brought on board to design a retaining wall at the Fitzsimons Lane and Main Road intersection: a gateway to the leafy suburb of Eltham.
