Projects

Narrow seals

We’re delivering targeted upgrades to three key arterial roads in the Wimmera, to improve safety and durability.

Project status:

Underway

Overview

The project includes widening both sides of the road at each site, installing tactile edge lines and sealing road shoulders. 

These upgrades will deliver safer and more reliable travel for locals and heavy vehicles operators who rely on these key regional roads to support industry and connect to communities. 

Works will take place on the following roads:

  • Horsham–Noradjuha Road, total of 4.4 km, south-west of Horsham
    • One site between Wimmera Highway and Three Bridges Road
    • Three sites between Darragan Pit Road and Natimuk-Hamilton Road
  • Warracknabeal–Birchip Road – total of 8.5km, north-east of Warracknabeal
    • Two sites between Sheep Hills-Bangerang Road and Rupanyup Road
  • Nhill–Jeparit Road – total of 4.3 km, north-east of Nhill
    • Four sites between Salisbury-Woorak Road and Gerang-Glenlea Road

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.

Disruptions update – July 2026

Major works on Horsham–Noradjuha Road started on 9 June 2026 and are progressing well.

From the week of 20 July 2026, works are scheduled to pause for approximately three weeks, as part of the planned construction schedule. A reduced speed limit will be in place and traffic will travel on the unsealed pavement widening areas. A road crew will be available to maintain the road condition during this period.

Construction crews will return in mid-August 2026 to complete the remaining works, including the final sealing of the road, in warmer weather conditions. Completion of the project is anticipated in September 2026.

Start dates for other sites will be published 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. Our work sites 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.
