People travelling on State Highway 1 near Johnsonville need to prepare for nighttime closures next week for resurfacing works.
Contractors will be resurfacing the highway’s southbound lanes near Johnsonville.
Weather permitting, night works are planned for the nights of Tuesday 1 April, and Wednesday 2 April, between 9pm and 4:30am. The work has been deliberately timed to happen at night when traffic volumes are lower to minimise disruption to the public.
Local road detours will be available via Johnsonville. Drivers must follow the detour using Johnsonville southbound off-ramp and Johnsonville southbound on-ramp.

Because the detour is on local roads with a lower speed limit, drivers can expect longer travel times and should allow extra time for their journeys.
These works are weather-dependent and may be rescheduled if bad weather occurs.
