Delays of up to 15 minutes are to be expected for traffic detouring through Berwick over the next few months, as ramp closures take place as part of the Clyde Road Upgrade.
The inbound exit from the Princes Freeway to Clyde Road, Berwick, will close from 4:30am Friday, 13 June, until mid-November.
All motorists who wish to reach Clyde Road from citybound lanes should take the earlier exit at O’Shea Road and detour via O’Shea Road to the south, or Princes Highway/High Street to the north.
For those who miss this earlier exit, they are able to exit at the Princes Highway u-turn via the freeway’s outbound lanes.
The outbound exit to Clyde Road will remain open during this period.
During this closure, crews will complete extensive asphalt and drainage works, and build a 180-metre-long retaining wall along the Princes Freeway citybound exit, which will also act as a safety barrier.
The outbound entry from Clyde Road to the Princes Freeway will close from July, while overnight freeway closures will take place in the area at times throughout winter.
The Clyde Road Upgrade will deliver improvements between Enterprise Avenue and Bemersyde Drive to improve traffic flow and safety, including upgrades to the intersection at Kangan Drive and at the Princes Freeway interchange, new street lighting, road signage, drainage and landscaping.
