Works are underway on a major upgrade of Reserve Road in Charlemont.
The upgrade includes include pavement reconstruction stabilisation shoulder widening and drainage upgrades.
The City is delivering the works with funding from the federal government Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.
The $500 000 upgrade will greatly improve safety and cater to increased traffic on Reserve Road between Barwarre Road and Barwon Heads Road.
Drainage upgrade works are already complete and the next stage of works involving shoulder removal reinstatement and widening will begin on Monday 19 April.
The works will require a temporary road closure for up to six days. Traffic management will be in place including signage with detours to assist in movement around the area. Emergency access will be provided along with local access only.
The third stage of works which includes the pavement reconstruction are scheduled to commence in the first week of May and is likely to require temporary road closures.

Councillor Anthony Aitken Chair of the City Works Parks and Gardens portfolio acknowledged that while the temporary road closure was an inconvenience the works would deliver a much-needed upgrade to Reserve Road.
These works will deliver important safety improvements for drivers cyclists and pedestrians on Reserve Road where there has been an increase in traffic in recent years.
This project is of one of nine infrastructure projects in Greater Geelong that received support through the Federal Government’s first round of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure fund.
We are grateful for the support from the federal government for these vital projects and I am excited to see the Reserve Road upgrade now underway.
Users of this road will be thrilled with the completed works making for a safer and more convenient commute.
