Construction update
From October, you’ll see more people working on site as we get ready for major construction on the Western Highway between Buangor and Ararat.
We’ll install site compounds and build new and upgraded access tracks, which we’ll use to safely move workers, vehicles and equipment in and out of the works area during construction.
We’ll also start to make room to build the new lanes and road infrastructure. This will include clearing some trees and vegetation.
While we work, traffic management will be in place at times between 6am and 6pm, Mondays to Fridays.
You may encounter lane closures, speed reductions to 40km/h, temporary traffic lights or traffic controllers, and delays of up to 5 minutes.
For your safety, and the safety of our workers, please observe speed limits and signs and follow the directions of our traffic controllers. We recommend allowing extra time for your journey during these hours.
Access to properties will be maintained.
Weather conditions may affect our progress. Please see on-road signage or visit disruptions for the most up-to-date information.
