Stage two reconstruction works of Victoria Road Yering are set to get underway shortly.
With traffic volumes along Victoria Road significantly increasing over the years, combined with increased rainfall, parts of the road pavement had begun to deteriorate.
This road reconstruction will ultimately see the road pavement rehabilitated and strengthened between Coldstream West Road to the driveway of property number 193 along Victoria Road Yering.
Ryrie Ward councillor Fiona McAllister said having Victoria Road reconstructed was an important step in improving the safety of motorists in the area.
“Victoria Road is a main thoroughfare for locals and visitors, particularly those heading to and from Lilydale, so it’s been due for rehabilitation works for some time,” Cr McAllister said.
“With the stage one works having been completed last year, to have the next stage of these works finished just before the Easter long weekend will be a great result for locals and travellers to the area.”
“We just ask for your patience during the construction phase and to plan ahead if you are travelling through the area.”
Works are scheduled to commence on Wednesday 13 March and are expected to be completed by Thursday 28 March, with both day and evening works to be undertaken during this time.
During construction, this section of Victoria Road will be closed to through traffic and will only be accessible by local residents, business and visitors who require access to properties in the vicinity of the works.
Stage one of the works took place between Macintyre Lane Yering to Davidson Drive Coldstream and was completed in April 2023.
This project is part of the council’s 2023-2024 Capital Expenditure Program.
