The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) has informed Murrindindi Shire Council about upcoming repair works on two landslips along the Melba Highway in Dixons Creek, between Healesville-Kinglake Road and north of Hunts Lane.
These critical repairs are scheduled to commence on Monday 17 February, and are expected to be completed by the end of March 2025, weather permitting.
During this period, the impacted section of the Melba Highway will be closed, with detours in place for light vehicles, rigid trucks, and buses via Healesville-Kinglake Road and Healesville-Yarra Glen Road.
Heavy vehicles will need to follow alternative routes, and drivers should anticipate additional travel times.
Access to properties and businesses south of the Healesville-Kinglake intersection will be maintained from Yarra Glen.
It is encouraged for residents and visitors to plan their journeys accordingly.
