Barwon Heads Road Duplication

We’re planning for the duplication of Barwon Heads Road to improve traffic flow and safety and provide for future growth in the surrounding area

Overview

The Victorian Government has committed $318.3m to duplicate 4km of Barwon Heads Road between Settlement Road and Reserve Road. This includes a bridge over the Melbourne-Warrnambool railway line at Marshall.

  • add extra lanes between Settlement Road and Reserve Road
  • upgrade Settlement Road and Breakwater Road intersections
  • install traffic lights at Crows, Barwarre, Marshalltown and Reserve Roads intersections
