Geelong and Bellarine residents will soon be able to cruise down smoother and safer roads as repair works take place across the region.
Major works will be delivered on Princes Highway West, Surf Coast Highway, Midland Highway and Bellarine Highway as part of the state government’s $976 million Better Roads Blitz investment.
Member for Lara Ella George said high-traffic areas and busy freight routes would undergo works to make roads safer and more reliable.
“This initiative not only supports our local economy but also improves the daily lives of Victorians by providing smoother pathways to work, school, and essential services,” she said.
“Our government’s investment in the Better Roads Blitz will significantly enhance the quality and reliability of key roads in the Geelong region, ensuring safer travel for commuters and freight alike.”
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant said the community could also expect to see fixed and improved roadsides, bridges, traffic lights, electronic signs and other structures, along with the removal of offensive and unsightly graffiti.
“Our roads are essential to our community, and this investment is crucial for ensuring they are smoother, safer and more reliable,” she said.
Member for Geelong Christine Couzens said the investment in Geelong and the Bellarine’s roads provided benefits for families and the economy.
“We’re investing in our state roads to ensure safer and more comfortable travel for the people of Geelong, visitors to our area, and road freight to and from the city,” she said.
