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 the project 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.

General disruptions

Works on Nhill–Jeparit Road are expected to start in late 2026 and will be confirmed on this website when the construction program is confirmed.

Please note: dates and times are subject to change due to site and weather conditions.

We'll make every effort to minimise disruption to traffic while works are underway. The work site may include: 

  • One-lane, two-way traffic management. Traffic will travel on a single lane through the work site.
  • 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.

Access

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.
