Road closure in Ventnor as Berrys Beach roadworks begins

Roadworks on a section of Berrys Beach Road in Ventnor is underway.

The work is along approximately 420 metres of Berrys Beach Road, between the roundabout intersection with Ventnor Beach Road and Ventnor Road and is expected to be completed by early May.

Berrys Beach Road (between the roundabout intersection and Ventnor Road) will be fully closed as part of the work, during working hours (approx. 7am-5pm), however, the road will be re-opened at the end of each day. This closure is expected to take place from Monday, April 11 until Monday, May 2.

Bass Coast Shire Mayor, Cr Michael Whelan, said that due to the road closure and detours, road users are being urged to plan their journey.

“Please obey and follow all detours and traffic control measures when navigating through the works – these are in place for your safety, as well as the safety of the workers on the road,” Cr Whelan said.
“As always, local and emergency vehicle access to properties will be maintained at all times.”

This project is being funded by $400,000 from the state government’s Roads to Recovery Program as well as $25,000 from council.

The council said the project includes up to 620 metres of approved vegetation clearing, associated with the required drainage works and all approved permits and vegetation offsets have been secured.
