Midland Highway - North of Powranna Road

About the project

We will be repairing and strengthening the pavement of the Midland Highway north of Powranna Road as part of our Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).

Timing

We will be working from Monday, 13 October 2025 to Friday, 19 December 2025, weather permitting.

Work will be done from Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 5.00 pm. There may also be occasional work on Saturdays, between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, if required.

There will be some temporary traffic changes to ensure the safety of workers and road users. Lane closures and a reduced speed limit will be in place during working hours and may affect travel times.

Please keep to speed limits, follow the directions of traffic controllers and signs, and allow up to 15 minutes extra travel time during this work.
