Djerriwarrh Creek Bridge, Old Western Highway, maintenance works
We delivered important maintenance works to the Djerriwarrh Creek Bridge on the Old Western Highway between Melton and Bacchus Marsh.
25/09/2023
This $1.2 million project was delivered as part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to maintaining safe road structures across our state.
This maintenance work was essential for heavy vehicles to continue using the Old Western Highway. The work was also essential because the Old Western Highway is a key detour route when the Western Freeway is closed, or if emergency evacuations are required.
What we did
We delivered the work in two stages:
- Stage one involved repair work underneath and around the bridge. This work had no impact on traffic or the community.
- Stage two involved asphalting the bridge’s road surface to restore its condition, along with updating line marking and installing new signage.
The bridge is now permanently reduced to one lane in each direction, indicated by signs, line marking and bollards.
Thank you for your patience while we completed these important bridge maintenance works.
