Maroondah Highway (Black Spur) closure - Tuesday 20 August

To safely undertake this tree removal, we need to close the road and use a crane to reach the tree. 

What to expect

On Tuesday 20 August between 9am and 6pm, Maroondah Highway will be closed between Healesville and Narbethong.

During the road closure, we recommend drivers detour via the Melba Highway to Yea, the Goulburn Valley Highway to Alexandra and on the Maroondah Highway to Narbethong, or vice versa.

There will be electronic signs in place to safely guide you through the detour. If you’re traveling through the area, please plan your journey and allow extra travel. This detour will add an extra hour of travel time. We advise you to plan ahead for travel during the closure.

On Wednesday 21 August and Thursday 22 August between 9am and 6pm, one lane will be closed on Maroondah Highway between Fernshaw Picnic Ground and the Dom Dom Saddle Picnic Ground. There will be reduced speed limits and traffic controllers on-site to help vehicles continue to move in both directions using the one lane.

Thank you for your patience while we complete these urgent safety works.
