The project developed a business case for the duplication of the Midland Highway in Victoria from the Geelong Ring Road (Princes Freeway) to Shelford-Bannockburn Road, Bannockburn. The planning study investigated the transport, land use and economic benefits of possible upgrades as well as any potential social or environmental impacts on local people and drivers.
The project developed a business case for the duplication of the Midland Highway from the Geelong Ring Road to Shelford-Bannockburn Road that is expected to improve driver safety and travel times, and reduce operating costs for the freight industry.
The estimated cost of the project was $600,000. The Australian and Victorian governments each contributed $300,000.
The project commenced in May 2017 and was completed in March 2018.
