Hallam Road

Hallam Road derives its name from the same person as the suburb of Hallam, Victoria. In the 1850s, William Hallam established a pub on the corner of Gippsland Road and the cross-street came to be known as "Hallam's Road".[2] When a train station was established on the line from Gippsland to Melbourne it took the same name.[2] There had been a school in different nearby locations since 1858 but it was moved to Hallam Road in 1904, and in 1923 it became known simply as 'Hallam' (distinct from the modern Hallam Primary School nearby).[2]

A package of capital works on Hallam Road between Ormond Road and the South Gippsland Highway were completed in 2020,[3][1] following calls for improvements to the road's condition in 2013.[4] That work was the first phase in a series of work, culminating in the removal of a level crossing on Hallam Road associated with Hallam railway station, as part of the broader Level Crossing Removal Project.[5][6] The $284 million project was prompted by 14 near-misses on Hallam Road involving vehicles and pedestrians in the 10 years preceding 2021.[7][8]
