Yarra Valley drivers needing to use Clegg Road are being advised of upcoming road maintenance which will see parts of the road closed from Wandin North to Mount Evelyn from Sunday 20 February.
The $2.65 million investment from the State Government will deliver important road maintenance work on Clegg Road and will be rebuilding it between Littlejohn Avenue in Mount Evelyn and Union Road in Wandin North.
This aims to provide drivers with a smoother, safer and stronger road and 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 from Sunday 20 February to Thursday 10 March, excluding Friday and Saturday nights.
“Please note that the dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions,” they 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.
