Works are now complete on Tylden-Woodend Road.
The works finished up in July, and included the major rebuild and rehabilitation along two stretches of the road in Tylden, as part of the state government’s road maintenance blitz.
Crews have finished rebuilding a two-kilometre section of Tylden-Woodend Road between Caddys Lane and Maxwell Street and an over one-kilometre section from Harpers Road to the railway crossing.
The existing road surface has been removed, and the road foundations have been rebuilt to create an improved journey for everyone who travels between Tylden and Woodend each day.
Crews have also completed new line-markings on the newly rebuilt roads.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas welcomed the news of the completed works.
“This means safer journeys for drivers in the area, who will see resurfaced roads and new markings – meaning a smoother journey for all,” she said.
According to the Department of Transport, crews will need to return in warmer weather to apply the final asphalt seal to the new road.
A reduced speed of 60km will be in place in the interim the ensure safety for all road users.
DTP expects crews to return in October to complete the last of the works, with more details available soon.
The works are part of the state government’s 2024-25 road maintenance program, with $964 million invested towards rebuilding, repairing and resurfacing Victorian roads.
