What’s been happening
Extension
We’ve been working with Wyndham City Council to develop the project design and construction plans for the new road.
Early works are underway, including setting up our site areas, installing fencing and locating any underground services in the project area.
Council is working near Gilded Road to locate cultural items to be protected and relocated to an appropriate area after construction.
Overpass
In a major milestone, we installed 30 reinforced concrete beams over the Geelong-Melbourne railway line in October 2024 to create the structural form for the overpass.
In late 2024, we poured the concrete deck for the bridge and placed the first layer of asphalt in January 2025.
We’ve also installed drainage, laid kerb, and poured concrete for the walking and cycling paths along the road and underneath the overpass.
What's coming up
During February 2025, we’ll be surveying, locating any underground services in the project area and doing further investigations along the extension site in preparation for major works to start.
We’ll also continue to lay asphalt on the overpass as well as build the walking and cycling paths along and under the overpass, install street lighting and start landscaping.
In March, we’ll ramp up major works on the extension. We’ll start excavating and placing dirt in the project area between Browns and Wests roads to build the foundations for the new road.
There will be no road closures or impacts on traffic during this time.
