Community members are being invited to have a say on the future construction of the Ison Road rail overpass in Werribee.
Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) is completing planning and development work for the new road overpass bridge over the Melbourne-Geelong railway line, which will provide a link between the Princes Freeway and Wyndham’s west.
The 2020/21 state budget included $10.28 million for early works on the overpass, which will extend south towards Browns Road and connect with a section of Ison Road, to be constructed by Wyndham council.
The latest stage of planning will explore opportunities for active transport, including a shared use path and dedicated bike lanes on both carriageways.
Locals are encouraged to have their say and share their insights on the upcoming project by completing an online survey by December 1.
Werribee MP Tim Pallas said: “We’ve already delivered the $1.8 billion Western Roads Upgrade and are now looking to the future of Melbourne’s west with planning underway for the Ison Road Rail Overpass in Werribee.”
“I encourage everyone to take part in the survey and have their say on this important project.”
MRPV is also in the early stages of planning potential improvements to the Werribee Main Road and Princes Freeway Interchange, including traffic modelling, planning studies and environmental and historic heritage investigations.
This planning work will consider upgrades to the interchange, including on and off ramps to the Princes Freeway, as well as the provision for active transport and cycling options.
