Princes Highway West Upgrades
The Australian Government has committed $262.3 million towards the Princes Highway corridor in Victoria to support implementation of the Princes Highway Corridor initiative.
Underway
Details
The Princes Highway is the main transport spine south-west Victoria, supporting key regional industries and the major regional centres.
We’re working to plan a corridor that is safer, more resilient to change and population growth, which delivers more efficient movements and services, and promotes economic activity.
Feedback provided by local government, key industries and community help us prioritise projects across Victoria, to meet future demands of heavier and wider high-performance freight vehicles
Upgrades will improve road safety for all road users and better connect people with jobs and services, and goods to market.
Bridge projects
Upcoming bridge works on Princes Highway West include:
- Surrey River, Narrawong
- Mount Emu Creek, Panmure
- Rail bridges in Dennington, Weerite and Allansford
- Shaw River Yambuk
