Additional Road Projects:

• Upgrading the Freight Connections to the Port – heavy transports from Melbourne and the Western District that travel via the Geelong Ring Road to the port of Geelong.

• Upgrading the Midland Hwy to Bannockburn – Bannockburn has benefited from the opening of the Geelong Ring Road, with growth at the town forecast to increase by almost 90 per cent to more than 10,000 between now and 2036. Safety upgrades on the Midland Hwy to cope with growing traffic and to improve the connections between regional centres have been completed. Planning for the duplication of the Midland Hwy between Geelong and Bannockburn is underway, and funding is required to complete road construction.

• Constructing the Ballarine Link (Geelong Ring Road extension) to the Bellarine Peninsula – development plans for Armstrong Creek define a corridor for the East-West connection linking Baanip Blvd to Barwon Heads Road. A detailed corridor planning study to determine the alignment between Barwon Heads Road and Portarlington is underway with the first four sections already constructed.
