Narrow seals – Nhill-Jeparit Road
We’re delivering targeted upgrades to key arterial roads in the Wimmera, to improve safety and durability.
Overview
The project is located on a 4.3km section of Nhill-Jeparit Road, north-east of Nhill, and includes widening both sides of the road, sealing road shoulders and installing tactile edge lines. Works will take place on four sites between Salisbury-Woorak Road and Gerang-Glenlea Road.
This upgrade will deliver safer and more reliable travel for locals and heavy vehicles operators who rely on this key regional road to support industry and connect to communities.
The Australian and Victorian governments have invested more than $8.3 million to three narrow seal projects in the Wimmera as part of the Road Safety Program, in partnership with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). These works aim to reduce crash risk, support freight and improve the resilience of key regional routes.
Update – October 2026
Early works on Nhill–Jeparit Road are expected to start from 19 October 2026, with major works to start in November 2026. The project will be completed in early 2027.
Please note: dates and times are subject to change due to site and weather conditions.
General disruptions

- Temporary traffic lights and electronic message boards.
- Reduced speed limits to keep drivers and workers safe.
- Delays of up to five minutes when moving through the site.
- Traffic management crews to help you move through the area while we complete these important works.

While access to properties will be retained, there will be periods of disruption to local roads and traffic flow. The contractor will contact impacted residents should access be disrupted.
