Delays were expected for drivers travelling over the bridge to Phillip Island.

Several Facebook users took to Facebook the Bergin Grove intersection was “long overdue” for upgrades.

“Bad intersection, someone always trying to beat traffic and pull out — constantly banked up turning onto main road from shops,” user Megan Dennis wrote.

“It’s a shocker if you are trying to turn right from the shops onto the main road, I’ve seen lots of near misses there,” Melisa Albers commented.
