About Breakwater Road
Breakwater Road is a major crossing of the Barwon River, carrying 20,000 vehicles each day. The realignment is a 1.3 km long project starting at the Barwon Heads Road and linking directly to Fellmongers Road, Breakwater.
The $63 million project includes a new bridge which will span the Barwon River and Geelong-Warrnambool rail line. The new bridge will reduce flood impacts on road users and also remove the height restriction for vehicles using the Barwon River crossing.

The site visit will start with a presentation about the project at the VicRoads South Geelong office, followed by an inspection of the works, which are nearing completion.
