Planned

What we’re doing

We’re delivering vital maintenance works on approximately 2.1 kilometres of Ballarto Road between west of Hobson Road and west of Koo Wee Rup Road.

The works will involve replacing layers of the road, asphalt resurfacing and line marking to restore the condition of the road surface.

When to expect us

Works are expected to take place over four continuous weeks between late-April and June 2026. We’ll notify the community of expected dates before these vital road maintenance works begin.

Works will take place under nightly road closures to minimise traffic disruption and to keep our crews safe. Crews are expected to work between 8pm and 6am, Sundays to Thursdays. There may be times where crews will work on Friday and Saturday nights. The road will reopen every morning from 6am under reduced speed limits.

Dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions and the contractor’s program of works.

What to expect during night works

  • A nightly road closure along this section of Ballarto Road. A heavy vehicle detour will be in place via Koo Wee Rup Road, the Princes Freeway and Cardinia Road. A local residential detour will be in place and signed.
  • Crews will work with property owners to maintain access to private properties within this section of Ballarto Road. Please speak to a traffic management controller during works if you require access.
  • No parking on this section of Ballarto Road.
  • Medium to high levels of noise when crews remove the surface layers of road. Low to medium levels of noise are expected during all other works. Crews will schedule the noisiest works in the earlier part of the shift, where possible.
  • Crews use modern equipment to keep noise to a minimum, however the works will unavoidably emit some noise and light. For the safety of road users and workers, reversing beepers are required on all machinery.
  • Emergency service vehicle access will be maintained.
  • A reduced speed limit around the work zone to ensure the safety of crews and all road users.

We’ll notify the community before these vital road maintenance works begin. 

This project is part of the 2025-26 road maintenance program.
