Night Roadworks are continuing in Colac this week, as Regional Roads Victoria continue laying a new asphalt road surface along 700 metres of the Princes Highway between Corangamite Street and Armstrong Street.

Work is taking place between 7.30pm and 5.00am, Sunday to Thursday weather permitting.

The construction is expected to be completed prior to Christmas.

During the works, the Princes Highway will remain open to traffic, with a reduced speed limit of 40km/h and alternating lane closures in place.

Traffic controllers will be on site to safely direct motorists.
