Major works are now underway on the construction of the Ison Road Extension in Victoria, which will deliver a new four lane road that will provide a new link to the Princes Freeway.
The $80 million Ison Road Extension will connect with the Ison Road Overpass to form a link to the freeway.
Earthworks for the 1.3-kilometre extension have begun, which will run between the overpass and Geelong Road at the Werribee Main Road-Princes Freeway interchange.
The new connection will enhance connectivity, improve safety and reduce congestion. The Ison Road Overpass is also currently under construction, with drivers expected to be able to use the link by the end of next year, catering for over 29,000 daily journeys by 2036.

Decmil is a construction partner on the project, which is being delivered on behalf of the Wyndham City Council.
The $80 million extension project is jointly funded by the Victorian Government and Wyndham City Council, with $60 million from the Victorian Government’s Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) fund.
The main function of the GAIC is to provide suitable infrastructure in Melbourne’s expanding fringe suburbs.
