Barwon Heads Road Upgrade

What’s been happening

After starting major construction in July 2025, we’re halfway through the upgrade of Barwon Heads Road between Reserve Road, Charlemont and Lake Road, Armstrong Creek.

So far we’ve:

  • upgraded intersections at Boundary Road, Harriot Road, Central Boulevard, Sonora Circuit, allMotti Road, Longreach Road, and Parkfield and Warralily boulevards
  • completed the widening of the Armstrong Creek bridge
  • upgraded underground infrastructure including utilities and drainage along the new lanes
  • completed asphalting and line marking on the new lanes.

In the last week of May, we moved traffic onto new Barwon Heads-bound lanes built between Reserve and Boundary roads and Geelong-bound between Boundary and Lake roads.

Precinct Road, Charlemont

On Thursday 28 May, we’ll close Precinct Road between Barwon Heads Road and Maidstone Way until October as we:

  • upgrade underground infrastructure
  • install new street lighting
  • remove and upgrade the existing road surface
  • upgrade walking and cycling connections.

It’s traffic switch time, and the Barwon Heads Road Upgrade crew are cruising around Armstrong Creek and Charlemont to tell us all about the project.
