As part of ongoing infrastructure improvements linked to the service station development at the south west end of Dooen Road, road users are advised of a temporary road closure.

To facilitate the safe construction of a new traffic island extension, a section of Dooen Road will be closed to traffic this week, between Monday 14 and Friday 18 July.

This closure is to ensure the safety of workers, motorists, and pedestrians while construction takes place.

To minimise disruption, separate detour routes have been established for light vehicles and heavy vehicles.

Outbound cars and light vehicles will be diverted along Baillie Street, Charles Street, and Sunnyside Avenue back to Dooen Road, and inbound the diversion will be via Searle Street and McPherson Street.

View a map of the light vehicle detour here.

Heavy vehicles will detour along Urquhart Street, Kalkee Road, and Dooen School Road, rejoining the Henty or Wimmera Highways just north of Dooen.
