What’s been happening
We’ve completed preparatory works to add lanes between Reserve and Lake roads, including relocating key utilities infrastructure and installing major drainage lines. Work is also progressing to widen the Armstrong Creek bridge.
Recently a 16.7m piling rig dominated the skyline at Warralily Boulevard Reserve, drilling holes up to 10.3 metres deep to install 34 steel-reinforced concrete piles. These concrete piles will strengthen the retaining wall of the existing bridge and lay the foundations for the new Geelong-bound lanes.
On Wednesday 17 December, we reopened Boundary Road between Barwon Heads Road and Pythias Way after a 3-month closure. The community will begin to see safety improvements on this side of the intersection, with a new left-turn slip lane onto Barwon Heads Road. We’ll now get ready to start work on the eastern side of the Boundary Road intersection.
Our crews will take a break over the festive season, with our site closing from Friday 19 December. When we return to work on 12 January 2026, we’ll be going straight into a busy summer of construction along Barwon Heads Road as we work towards our completion in late 2027.
