Drysdale Bypass on track as key elements start to take shape

MAJOR Road Projects Victoria is pushing ahead with key elements of the Drysdale Bypass following the completion of major earthworks earlier this year.

Program director Tim Price said it was exciting to see the structural elements of the Bellarine Railway overpass and the new pedestrian underpass beginning to take shape.

Mr Price said construction on the Bellarine Railway overpass was now underway, with foundations being put in place for a 25-metre-long arch over the railway.

The 7.8-metre-high arched overpass is designed to match the area’s rural and historic landscape and will feature a split-stone finish.

Work has also started on a new pedestrian underpass linking the township of Drysdale with the education, arts and sporting precinct on Peninsula Drive.
