The Department of Transport and Planning (DOTP) is spray-sealing a section of Monbulk-Seville Road, approximately 250 meters south of Holden Road to repair damaged areas and improve the condition of the road surface.
Works are expected to start on Tuesday 5 March and be completed in mid-March. Crews will be working between 8.30am and 5pm.
The road will be closed for the duration of these important maintenance works.
Monbulk-Seville Road will be closed with a detour in place via Ferndale Road, Monbulk Road and Parker Road.
Plan ahead and allow an extra 10 minutes of travel time.
Access for residents and emergency services will be maintained.
Medium to high noise levels – the DOTP will work towards minimising noise as much as possible. Crews use modern equipment to reduce noise, however the works will unavoidably emit some noise and light. For the safety of road users and workers on site, reversing beepers are a requirement on all machinery.
Expect some vibrations and dust around work areas.
A 40km/h speed reduction was in place during the wait for the road to be resealed.
The road was previously closed after geotechnical engineers assessed a section of unstable ground and identified an active landslip on Monbulk-Seville Road near the intersection with Charteris Road in late 2022.
18 trees that became unstable during the landslip were removed. Additional drainage works were also undertaken to reduce water pooling under the road surface.
