Update – March 2026

Major works are completed on a new roundabout at the intersection of Cape Otway Road and Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road.

This major intersection upgrade included:

construction of the new roundabout to replace the existing crossroad intersection
installation of a new safety barrier on the western approach to the intersection to prevent vehicles from impacting a power pole
installation of new way-finding signage, kerbing and line marking
new asphalt surface for safety and durability.

We've upgraded the Cape Otway Road and Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road intersection to:

reduce the risk and severity of intersection crashes
support safer turning movements for all vehicles
increase visibility on all approaches, including at night through public lighting
improved journey for all road users by clearly defining the intersection.

From 2017 to 2024, five crashes occurred at this intersection, four resulting in serious injuries.

The daily traffic volume is 1,290 vehicles on Cape Otway Road and 670 vehicles on Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road.
