Stage 1: Fowler Road Works

Works will take place on Fowler Road until late 2025. These will be split into 2 stages. Utility and drainage works will take place prior to the indented parking and driveway works.

From early 2025, temporary offset parking will be available for the business precinct at 13 Fowler Road.

A temporary pedestrian footpath will be available on the south side of Fowler Road during construction.

Stage 2: Progress Street Closure

Progress Street will be closed from April to June 2025 to raise the road to match the new bridge height. A detour will be in place via Hallam Valley Road.

At the completion of these works the level crossing will be permanently closed and the Fowler Road Bridge open.

Hallam Valley Road Detour

A temporary detour will be in place during the Progress Street closure and the South Gippsland Highway intersection works.

For vehicles using the detour route via Hallam Valley Road:

• a single lane bridge will be managed through traffic signals
• there will be a left hand turn only out of Hallam Valley Road
• traffic management will be in place.

Stage 3: South Gippsland Highway Intersection Works

South Gippsland Highway will be closed in both directions for approximately 2 weeks in the July 2025 school holidays.

During this time, we will reconstruct and signalise the intersection with Fowler Road.

Detours will be in place via Princes Highway/South Gippsland Freeway.

The new road bridge will be open before works on the South Gippsland Highway intersection commence in July.

The Fowler Road precinct will use the temporary Hallam Valley Road detour during these works.

EDVs will travel along Fowler Road and along the path on South Gippsland Highway.

Drivers should expect delays due to works.

Stage 4: Fowler Road works continued

An alternative access route along Hallam Valley Road will be in place for the precinct from completion of Stage 3 (the upgrade of South Gippsland Highway).

This will minimise any traffic impacts during the Fowler Road indented parking works.

At completion of works, all road users will travel via the Fowler Road bridge only.
