We’re upgrading the Western Highway between Ballarat and Stawell to get you where you need to be sooner and safer.
Overview
For this section of the Western Highway Upgrade, we will:
- add two lanes in each direction with a central median to separate traffic
- upgrade intersections to improve safety and move traffic more efficiently
- build new access to the highway, with intersections that connect to local roads
- build a bypass to the north of Great Western
- build new bridges at Delahoy Road and Bests Road
- add an underpass below Sandy Creek Road.
We have started early works, which include:
- a comprehensive tree survey
- environmental field surveys
- investigations into potential environmental initiatives
- investigations into potential community opportunities.
