The Western Highway Upgrade is a jointly funded project by the Victorian and Australian governments to meet the demands of a growing population, improve safety, support communities and boost the regional economy.
Western Highway is the major road link between Melbourne and Adelaide. Farming, grain production, regional tourism and a range of manufacturing services rely heavily on this highway.
We’ve been upgrading the highway between Burrumbeet and Stawell since 2013 and to date, 55km of highway has been duplicated between Ballarat and Buangor.
