Residents in the booming Wyndham West and Werribee regions will have easier and safer access to the Princes Freeway, with the Australian and Victorian governments announcing a $114 million investment to complete the Ison Road Overpass.
More than $10 million has already been invested for early works on the overpass, which will extend south towards Browns Road and connect with a section of Ison Road, to be constructed by Wyndham Council.
Extensive planning works and community consultation on the proposed design and planning pathway, which attracted more than 4,000 participants, have since been completed.
The overpass is expected to cater for nearly 29,000 daily users by 2036.
We're also in the early stages of planning for potential improvements to the Werribee Main Road and Princes Freeway Interchange in Werribee, including traffic modelling, planning studies, and environmental, cultural and historical heritage investigations.
This planning work will consider future upgrades to the interchange, including on and off-ramps to the Princes Freeway, as well as active transport and cycling options.
The Ison Road Overpass is expected to begin construction in 2023.
