LOCAL TRAFFIC ADVICE: New Doyles Road Detours

VicRoads have issued an update on the progress of the Doyles Road/ Midland Highway roundabout upgrade project. The Stage 1 works on the north side of the roundabout are nearing completion and Stage 2 works will be commencing from Monday 9 May.

The Stage 2 works will involve the south side of the roundabout being closed to traffic and some modifications to the existing detours that are in place. The Stage 2 detour map is featured at right and a pdf version is available below for download.

Turning movements at the roundabout will continue to be restricted for the next two months while the second half of the roundabout is constructed.

  • Doyles Road will be closed to through traffic on the south side of the Midland Highway Roundabout. Vehicles heading north on Doyles Road towards the roundabout will be detoured via Poplar Avenue in order to access the Midland Highway.
  • East West traffic along the Midland Highway and past the roundabout will continue to be maintained at all times but there will be restricted turning movements and minor delays while works are in progress.
  • Traffic heading East along the Midland Highway (towards Benalla) will be able to turn left onto Doyles Road and return towards the CBD via Enterprise Drive & Florence Street.
  • Trucks accessing Mooroopna, Benalla or East Shepparton will continue to be detoured via New Dookie Road, Central Avenue and Poplar Avenue. Trucks heading north - south through Shepparton will continue to be encouraged to avoid the area by using the Goulburn Valley Highway (Wyndham Street).
