Upcoming works
What’s been happening
Clyde Road centre median removal
We’ve removed the kerb and centre median along Clyde Road between Bemersyde Drive and Enterprise Avenue and placed temporary asphalt and line marking allowing us to create more space and keep lanes open while we work to widen the road behind barriers.
Bridge widening works
Crews have recently kicked off foundation works to expand the bridge over the Princes Freeway. To complete these works a piling rig will drill holes up to 17m in the ground before filling them with reinforced concrete. These structures will create a stable base for the expanded bridge to be placed on.
Utilities relocation works
80% of utility relocation and protection works are now complete! Teams recently completed water main relocations near Kangan Drive and high voltage power works on the bridge over the Princes Freeway.
What’s coming up
Later this month, we’ll shift barriers on the Princes Freeway. This will create a safe work area for our crews to begin work on the centre median wall that will sit under the expanded bridge over the Princes Freeway.
In April we will move the safety barriers on Clyde Road to allow our crews to begin works construction of the new southbound lanes. We’ll also kick off gas and sewerage relocation works at the intersection of Kangan Drive and Clyde Road. We’ll be in touch with nearby residents and businesses with more information about these works before they start.
What to expect during construction
We’ll work Monday to Friday, and sometimes on weekends as we continue to build the upgrade.
Sometimes we’ll also work at night to limit disruption to motorists. We’ll let impacted stakeholders know ahead of time.
There will be ongoing changes in traffic conditions including intermittent lane closures and reduced speed limits.
Please follow the direction of traffic controllers and on-road signage, and allow additional travel time.
Residents and businesses near our works area may notice an increase in noise, dust and vibration. We’ll do our best to schedule noisy works earlier in the day where possible.
If you feel impacted or have any questions or queries about these works or any works as part of the Clyde Road Upgrade, please call 1800 105 105 or email contact@bigbuild.vic.gov.au.
