Early works are set to begin in early 2025 for the $250 million Barwon Heads Road Upgrade, Stage Two, which will provide extra lanes, upgrade intersections and deliver improved active transport infrastructure in Victoria.
The upgraded lanes, intersections and shared walking and cycling paths between Charlemont and Armstrong Creek will help Barwon Heads Road cater for up to 35,000 journeys daily by 2036.
The $250 million project includes funding contributions of $125 million each from the Federal and Victorian governments.

Completed six months ahead of schedule in mid-2023, the first stage of the Barwon Heads Road Upgrade built new lanes between Settlement Road, Belmont, and Reserve Road, Charlemont. It also built a bridge over the rail line at Marshall, upgraded key intersections, added new traffic lights, and created four kilometres of shared paths with street lighting and landscaping.
Planning work, investigations and community feedback helped develop a detailed concept for Stage Two to upgrade Barwon Heads Road for four kilometres between Reserve Road, Charlemont, and Lake Road, Armstrong Creek.
Early works on the second stage of the project will begin in early 2025, with major construction expected to begin from late 2025.
