Upcoming works
Progress update
We’ve finished piling works on either side of the overpass, which involved drilling 34 holes up to 17 metres deep and filling them with reinforced steel and concrete to create the foundations needed to support 4 extra lanes.
We’ve now turned our attention to the centre median on the Princes Freeway, with 11 more foundations up to 1.5 metres wide being built to support the centre of the structure and ensure long-term stability.
You’ll soon start to notice powerlines and poles disappearing along sections of Clyde Road. That’s because we’re moving them underground, which looks nicer and improves road safety by lowering the risk of a collision.
Ramps closed ahead
We’re making it safer, faster and easier to access the Princes Freeway by upgrading the intersections and widening some of the entry and exit ramps.
From mid-June until early November, we’ll have long-term ramp closures in place as we work to widen the top of the ramps so that we can connect them into the new southbound lanes under construction on Clyde Road.
We’ll also use this time to complete extensive asphalt and drainage upgrades, and to build a 180 metre long retaining wall which will also act as a safety barrier.
- From mid-June to early November, we’ll close the citybound exit ramp to Clyde Road
- From early July to early October, we’ll close the Warragul-bound entry ramp to the Princes Freeway.
Detours will be in place via Princes Highway and O’Shea Road with delays of up to 15 minutes expected. Please allow additional travel time.
A new-look Kangan Drive intersection
Works to transform the intersection of Kangan Drive and Clyde Road will ramp up soon. Once complete, drivers will enjoy faster and safer access in and out of Kangan Drive, with increased storage in the turning lanes allowing traffic to move more freely on Clyde Road.
To keep drivers and our crews safe, we’ll need to close the entire intersection at times while we build the upgrade. We’ll do our best to program this work at night or on school holidays where possible.
