Riders in Werribee have major new bike infrastructure available for travel with the opening of the Ison Road project.
The $194m project has delivered a major new shared path along 1.3km of the new arterial road, and extending over a new overpass across the Geelong rail line.
The new path connects to existing paths on Ferntree Drive in King’s Leigh Estate and Geelong Road.
There is also a new dedicated cycling track underneath the bridge, along the rail corridor, to connect with future paths in the Harpley Estate development.
Work is still underway to complete the new intersection linking Geelong Road, Werribee Main Road and Ison Road.
The project paves the way for the delivery of a new intersection at Ison Road and Werribee Main Road, and a new roundabout on the Princes Freeway city-bound off-ramp – with construction due to start in the coming months.
The project included three levels of government, with funding from the Commonwealth and the state plus the City of Wyndham.
Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, said: “Gone are the days of Ison Road coming to an abrupt end in the middle of Werribee.
“With a new bridge, a new road and new walking and cycling paths, locals now have a safe and reliable connection from Armstrong Road to the Princes Highway.”
