WORK on the Western Port Highway upgrade is coming to an end.
The road has been closed in sections between 1 December and 11 December to allow for crews to apply the finishing touches. Parts of Ballarto and Cranbourne-Frankston roads also closed overnight last week to allow for crews to undertake work.
Asphalting was completed last week while the roads were closed. Major Road Projects Victoria program director Brendan Pauwels said that the work meant that the project was nearing its end.
“Final asphalting works on the Western Port Highway Upgrade have started, signalling the completion of works to upgrade this vital south eastern road corridor. We thank the community for their patience while we’ve completed these critical works,” he said last week.
The Western Port Highway is used by around 25,000 motorists a day. The completed upgrade allows for the road to be upgraded to freeway standard sometime in the future.
