Roadwork ahead

Work to upgrade a road connecting two Bellarine Peninsula tourist towns will begin during this summer holiday period, its provider has announced.
The work would close lanes and limit speeds to 40km/h on the Portarlington-Queescliff Road from 18 January, said South West Alliance.
VicRoads and civil construction firm Fulton Hogan formed the alliance to “improve the managements of our roads and deliver efficient repair and improvement works in the region”.
“Every effort will be made to minimise impacts to motorists, residents and local businesses and to facilitate a safe working environment for the South West Alliance construction workers,” the alliance said.
