What we’re doing

We’re delivering vital maintenance works on Gorge Road, between Riverside Drive and approximately 210 metres east of Riverside Drive, in South Morang.

The works will involve constructing new road shoulders, 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 between March and May 2025 for two weeks. These dates are subject to the contractor’s program of works and favourable weather conditions.

Works will take place at night, Sundays to Thursdays. No works will take place on Friday and Saturday nights. We’re working at night to minimise disruptions to traffic and to keep our crews safe.

We’ll notify the community before works begin.

What to expect during works

A road closure on Gorge Road between Riverside Drive and approximately 210 metres east of Riverside Drive with a detour via Yan Yean Road, Bridge Inn Road and Plenty Road. Private property access will be maintained.
The road will reopen from 5am. Please observe traffic management signs and drive safely as sections of the road will be unsealed.
Medium to high noise levels when crews remove the surface layers of road. We’ll complete the noisiest works in the earlier part of the night, where possible. Low to medium levels of noise are expected during all other works.
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.
Some vibrations and dust around the work site while we work on the road.
No parking during works within this section of Gorge Road. We’ll contact affected property owners and work to maintain access.
A reduced speed limit during works to ensure the safety of crews and all road users.
Emergency service vehicle access will be maintained.
