A contract has been awarded for the construction of the 1.3-kilometre, four lane road between the Ison Road Overpass and the Geelong Road Princes freeway interchange in Victoria.
Decmil has been awarded the contract to deliver the Ison Road Extension, to form the new link to the freeway between Melbourne and Geelong.
Together, the Ison Road Extension and Overpass will form the new link between Ison Road and the Princes Freeway at Werribee, with the 29,000 motorists who use the connection daily able to use the new link by the end of next year.
The link will include walking and cycling paths along the overpass and the extension to Geelong Road (Princes Highway). These upgrades will also allow the nearby dangerous and congested level crossing at Galvin Road in Werribee to be closed to traffic once the new connection opens.

The $80 million project is jointly funded through the Victorian Government and Wyndham City Council.
About $60 million of this has come from the Victorian Government’s Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) fund, which was established to help provide infrastructure in Melbourne’s expanding fringe suburbs.
Crews have already clocked nearly 150,000 hours building the Ison Road Overpass and completed the road deck late last year. Workers will finish the bridge build and prepare the site for construction on the Ison Road Extension.
