$250 million Barwon Heads Road upgrades underway

The $250 million Barwon Heads Road in Victoria will include extra lanes, upgraded intersections, and new shared walking and cycling paths between Charlemont and Armstrong Creek.

The first stage of the project was completed ahead of schedule in mid-2023, with new lanes built between Settlement Road, Belmont, and Reserve Road, Charlemont.

It also included a new bridge built over the rail line at Marshall, key intersection upgrades, new traffic lights, and 4km of shared paths with street lighting and landscaping.

Stage two will extend on completed works, to improve travel safety, reliability and connectivity.

The upgrade will help Barwon Heads Road cater for up to 35,000 vehicles a day by 2036.

Early works will begin in at the start of 2025, with major construction expected to take place from late 2025.

The $250 million project is funded on a 50:50 basis by the Australian and Victorian governments.
