The Department of Transport and Planning is conducting road maintenance works on Wellington Road in Belgrave South and Narre Warren East as part of the routine maintenance program.

The department is undertaking maintenance works on three sections of Wellington Road between Ryans Road in Belgrave South and Aura Vale Road in Menzies Creek.

These works will involve major road patching works to repair damaged areas and improve the condition of the road surface.

This work is being completed as part of the Victorian government’s routine maintenance program, and will be delivered in three stages between Sunday 3 December and the morning of Friday 8 December.

Crews will be working at night between 8pm and 5am, Sunday to Thursday.

Road maintenance requires dry, temperate weather conditions when removing and relaying the road surface. Please note that the dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions.
