Peninsula road works alert

Road works at various locations on the Bellarine Peninsula will start this week, weather permitting, according to VicRoads.

Contractors will be removing, strengthening, smoothing and re-sealing the existing road surface.

The locations are:

  • Drysdale – Ocean Grove Road, between Empress Boulevard and Shell Road Roundabout, Ocean Grove
  • Bellarine Highway, at Maddens Lane corner, Marcus Hill
  • Portarlington-St Leonards Rd, between The Esplanade and Grassy Point Rd, Indented Head
  • Portartlington-St Leonards Rd, between The Esplanade and Murradoc Rd, St Leonards

Speed will be reduced during the works and traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction. These reduced speed limits are aimed at ensuring the safety of both road workers and road users, a VicRoads spokesperson said.

“Motorists are encouraged to plan their journey and allow for extra travel time, as minor delays are expected.”

“We remind motorists to obey all roadwork signs and speed limits, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.”

Works are expected to be completed by 3 October.
