This 160km motorway links the city of Melbourne with Geelong to the west and Traralgon to the east. The route is important for Victoria State as the Princes Highway-Geelong Road is one of the main routes that connects Melbourne's western and eastern suburbs. Congestion is a key issue in Melbourne so new road links are helping keeping traffic moving. The Duncan Road junction is an important route to and from many of Melbourne's suburbs and the bridge, built 61 years ago, carries around 11,000 vehicles/day. To improve traffic flow and road safety, the authorities in Victoria State opted to carry out upgrade work to the Duncan Road junction. This project included the construction of new exit ramps and the demolition of the old bridge along with the removal of the debris. The final stage of the improvement work was for the construction of the new bridge with two lanes in both directions. The project also included the addition of two new ramps for traffic to and from Geelong and the construction of cycle and pedestrian paths and safe crossings on Duncan Road. |
