Developers begin roadworks in Armstrong Creek next month, with major sections of Horseshoe Bend Road to be closed and Boundary Road closed for westbound traffic.
The works will impact the two key routes between February and June 2023.
City of Greater Geelong acting director of City Services David Greaves asked residents and drivers to allow extra travel time while the roadworks progressed.
“Roadworks may affect the way you travel in and around Armstrong Creek over the coming months and drivers are encouraged to plan ahead,” Mr Greaves said.
“We thank everyone for their patience and ask drivers to consider adding extra time to their journey while the road closures are in place.”
Boundary Road will be closed to westbound traffic between Horseshoe Bend Road and Barwon Heads Road for the duration of the works, with access maintained in one direction for drivers travelling eastbound towards Barwon Heads Road.
Horseshoe Bend Road will be closed north of Hilltop Drive to Lyanna Way and Swanburra Drive until March 2023.
From March to June 2023, Horseshoe Bend Road will remain closed from north of Worn Road.
Swanburra Drive will be closed to traffic from March to June, with access for local residents maintained.
Mr Greaves said the road upgrades would deliver vital improvements to the area.
“We recognise that Boundary Road has deteriorated significantly so it’s important that works get underway to widen and improve the road surface as soon as possible,” Mr Greaves said.
“The works by developers will also include the delivery of new footpaths, curb, street lighting, gas mains, and water mains.”
Emergency services will continue to have access to all properties, with traffic management in place to ensure residents access to their Banksia and Ashbury Estates properties.
Sparrovale Drain works will also be undertaken at this time, helping to facilitate the planned delivery of infrastructure to neighbouring estates.
