Project DescriptionThe project upgraded various roads in Geelong. The project widened the existing curves at the corner of Wharf Road and Shell Parade, Lowe Street, and Wharf Road and Rennie Street. The project also upgraded roundabouts at Shell Parade and School Road, and Shell Parade and Rennie Street, improved drainage assets, and sealed an existing informal heavy vehicle parking area at Shell Parade and Rennie Street. BenefitsRennie Street, Shell Parade, Wharf Road and Lowe Street provide a direct heavy vehicle route from the Princes Freeway to the Port of Geelong. The completed project has removed the need for heavy vehicles to mount kerbs or undertake wide turning manoeuvres, and provided a formal location where drivers can rest or complete paperwork before entering the Port of Geelong.
