Important strengthening works will soon begin on four bridges along the Princes Highway at Warragul and Drouin, improving access, efficiency and enhancing road safety along this key freight corridor (southeast of Melbourne).
Buln Buln Road Bridges in Drouin and King Street Bridges in Warragul will have their existing pile caps and pier crossheads strengthened, while new micro-piles will be added to existing underground piers.
The Albanese and Allan Labor Governments have each committed $22.37 million to strengthen multiple bridges as part of a wider $44.7 million Princes Highway Corridor Upgrades project.
As a vital link connecting the Gippsland region to Melbourne, the Princes Highway East is used by thousands of vehicles every day, commuting and transporting goods across the state.
Speed limit reductions and a possible detour to Buln Buln Road are likely to be in place at times to ensure drivers travel safely through the construction areas.
