PENINSULA LINK

Pavement rehabilitation works are being completed to ensure the road can meet the demands of the growing population and provide a smoother, more enjoyable journey for all road users for decades to come. 

These works will be carried out along the southern sections of the Peninsula Link. The works will be delivered in staged sections and include all pavement layers including the top surface layer.

Pavement works are being delivered in stages, and closures and reduced speeds will be in place for extended periods.

Works are being carried out during both day and night shifts to complete the program as quickly as possible.

We acknowledge the impact the pavement works may have on the community and road users.

By carefully staging and planning the works, the aim is to limit the duration and extent of disruptions and get the work done as quickly as possible.

However, travel delays due to the roadworks is unavoidable and the chosen delivery method has been reviewed to minimise total impact on road users and community.

Weather conditions can impact the schedule, particularly rain and low temperatures. Dry and warm weather conditions are required to properly place the pavement layers; this is particularly important for the top asphalt layer.  

If weather causes delays, the works may need to be rescheduled or timelines adjusted. 

The pavement works must be undertaken in multiple steps to properly rebuild the road structure. This includes removal of old pavement, placement of new underlying structural pavement and placement of the final surfacing layer. Works are progressing as expected.

Each step must be completed in sequence and some steps require specific weather conditions. This is why you may see crews return to the same sections at different times throughout the project- each visit is completing a different layer or stage of the rebuild process.
