Drivers along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road are warned of traffic delays due to ongoing road upgrades and maintenance work.

The $255 million project aims to improve road resilience and safety, with works scheduled to last for eight months. Holidaymakers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time. The Great Ocean Road, serving as a major tourist route in Australia, is undergoing extensive restoration efforts to address coastal erosion, cliff collapses, and road deterioration caused by heavy traffic and extreme weather events.
