Contract Awarded - Works Commencing
Mansfield Shire Council has engaged Wangaratta Excavations to undertake safety improvements at the intersection of Old Tolmie Road and Tolmie - Mahaikah Road.
Construction is scheduled to commence on Monday 11 May 2026, with an estimated completion date of 19 June, weather permitting.
The project scope includes:
Intersection safety improvements by adding a traffic island and defining the intersection.
Upgraded line marking and signage at the approaches. This will include Chevron Alignment Markers (CAMs), give way signs, and a line marked traffic island to warn the drivers of the intersection.
Marked lane width adjustments are proposed on Tolmie-Mahaikah Rd which will help reduce approach speeds.
Improving sight lines and shoulder sealing on Old Tolmie Rd to avoid gravel build up on the road and improve safety for motorcyclists at the sharp curve.
Drainage improvements and concrete kerb placement.
Work crews will be on site from 7am to 5pm. To ensure the safety of workers, pedestrians and road users, traffic management will be in place during construction including temporary lane closures requiring hold and release traffic control. Please observe all signage and follow traffic management instructions to ensure the safety of all road users and workers.
Should you have any queries regarding the above works, please contact Council on 5775 8555 or capitalworks@mansfield.vic.gov.au(External link).
