Roadworks to cause traffic disruptions

MAJOR roadworks are underway in in Armstrong Creek this month as contractors deliver improvements to Boundary Road and Horseshoe Bend Road.

From February to June, Boundary Road will be closed to westbound traffic between Horseshoe Bend and Barwon Heads road in order to improve the road surface, which has “deteriorated significantly”.

City of Greater Geelong acting director of city services David Greaves said the roadworks may affect motorists’ ability to travel in Armstrong Creek over the coming months, and advised them to plan ahead.

 

“We recognise that Boundary Road has deteriorated significantly so it’s important that works get underway to widen and improve the road surface as soon as possible,” Mr Greaves said.

“The works by developers will also include the delivery of new footpaths, curb, street lighting, gas mains, and water mains.

“We thank everyone for their patience and ask drivers to consider adding extra time to their journey while the road closures are in place.”

The roadworks will also cause delays and closures to those travelling on Hilltop Drive, Lyanna Way, Swanburra Drive and Worn Road.

Greyjoy Road, Lilirose Drive, Ambitious Avenue, Walter Street and segments of Hilltop Drive will provide optional detours for local traffic.

 

Planned infrastructure works at Sparrovale Drain will also be undertaken at this time.

Emergency services will continue to have access to all properties and traffic management will be in place to ensure Banksia and Ashbury Estate residents can get access to their homes.
