A date has been confirmed for the start of works on Old Warburton Road ahead of the landslip repairs on the Warburton Highway.
Works will commence on Monday 3 April 2023 and are expected to be completed by Monday 24 April 2023.
Crews will be working Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm, subject to weather conditions.
The Old Warburton works will include:
Road surface repairs, installing guideposts, reflective raised markers, temporary barriers, and line markings, inspecting trees and removing any dangerous branches and installing temporary lighting to assist motorists at night.
During the eventual landslip repairs, the Department of Transport and Planning (DOTP) has confirmed property access will be maintained for residents living within the closed section of the highway, but they will be unable to pass the landslip site between approximately 3263 Warburton Highway and Mayer Bridge.
The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) will also hold a community information session on April 3 from 7.00pm to 9.00pm in the Mecca Theatre at the Arts Centre Warburton.
The DOTP team will outline the plans to repair the landslip on Warburton Highway and answer community questions about the works.
Yarra Ranges Council and emergency services will be in attendance.
