Bellarine Peninsula motorists have been urged to prepare as roadworks on Barwon Heads Road are set to ramp up over winter.
A three week construction blitz will close the intersection at Barwon Heads Road and Breakwater Road in Belmont to most traffic from June 17.
The closure will allow crews the chance to raise the entire intersection by up to a metre to help prevent future flooding.
Motorists are urged to plan ahead with delays up to 20 minutes expected.
Work will continue to build two new lanes on Barwon Heads Road, with the northbound lane between Breakwater and Settlement Roads to be closed from Friday, May 27 to Friday, June 17.
The winter construction blitz will also see several Barwon Water pipes relocated and upgraded as early works on the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication ramp up in preparation to start track work later this year.
Separate works on the Warrnambool train line also means coaches will replace trains between Geelong and Warrnambool from June 20 to June 29.
“We’re delivering the upgrades to regional roads and train lines we promised, supporting hundreds of jobs throughout regional Victoria,” Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said.
“We encourage Victorians travelling during this period to plan ahead and we thank them for their patience as we deliver these vital upgrades.”
