The project will be carried out by local contractor, John Michelin & Son and will include reconfiguration of the intersection, road surface upgrades, installation of safety barriers, line marking, paths, guttering and drainage works.
There will be a break in construction during the school holiday period.
For the duration of the works, the intersection will remain partially open with traffic control and 24/7 traffic lights in place. Queue lengths will be kept to a minimum. Access through Yarrawood Avenue will be one way only, heading north.
Pedestrians will have access to Berrambool and the businesses on Sapphire Coast Drive via the formal footpaths.
During the day, particularly in peak times, traffic control will assist pedestrians to cross at the traffic light points. Outside of working hours, pedestrians are instructed to cross at the traffic light points when safe to do so. Paths will be clearly signposted.
