Clegg Road will see some disruptions over the next few weeks, as Vicroads works to improve the quality of the major thoroughfare in Mount Evelyn and Wandin.
Some parts of Clegg Road will be closed from Sunday 20 February through to Thursday 10 March.
It’s part of a $2.65 million investment from the State Government to deliver important road maintenance work on Clegg Road in Mount Evelyn and Wandin North.
“Maintenance is crucial in keeping our roads running smoothly – these works on Clegg Road will ensure locals can get where they need to go safely and reliably,” Department of Transport Executive Director Metro South-East Vince Punaro said.
“We thank motorists and the local community for their patience during these vital works, which form part of the Victorian Government’s ongoing delivery in maintaining thousands of roads across the state to keep Victorians moving.”
Works are rebuilding Clegg Road between Littlejohn Avenue in Mount Evelyn and Union Road in Wandin North, to provide drivers with a smoother, safer and stronger road.
These works will involve removing the existing pavement, replacing it with new asphalt, line marking and other associated works to improve the condition of the road surface.
Vicroads said drivers can expect road closures and works at night between 8pm and 5am, excluding Friday and Saturday nights.
“Please note that the dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions,” Vicroads said.
“During nightworks, there will be road closures. Crews will close one section of Clegg Road at a time to minimise disruptions to traffic.”
Section 1: Clegg Road closed between Littlejohn Avenue and Wellington Road, with signed detours via Beenak Road, Hunter Road and Monbulk Road.
Section 2: Clegg Road closed between Wellington Road and Union Road, with signed detours via Wellington Road and Warburton Highway.
Heavy vehicles are advised to detour via Warburton Highway during the works.
Detour signs will be in place for the road closures and residents between between Monbulk Road and Union Road will be allowed through the worksite, however there may be a short delay.
There may be short periods where access will be restricted to properties along Clegg Road.
Medium to high noise levels are to be expected and there will also be vibrations and dust around work areas while we remove the existing layer of the road, lay new asphalt, and reinstate the road.
“We’ll work towards minimising noise as much as possible.”
No parking will be allowed during works on Clegg Road the between Littlejohn Ave and Union Road to allow access for machinery and to protect any vehicles being damaged by bitumen.
Please keep an eye out for changed traffic conditions and temporary speed limits when moving through the area.
