Work starting on Bennett Road Shared User Path upgrade

Work has begun on improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists and road users on Bennett Road.

The shared user/bike path between Natimuk Road and Baillie Street, on the western side of Horsham Racecourse and Recreation Reserve, will be partially closed until February.

During this period, there may be temporary interruptions to parking and road users. These will be clearly signed, and contractors will endeavour to minimise disruption as much as possible.

The upgrade is designed to enhance safety for all road users, especially students from Horsham College, and to improve connectivity between west Horsham and the riverfront.

The scope of works includes demolition and removal, earthworks, pavement construction, kerb and channel installation, shared path and footpath construction, and line marking.

Council thanks residents, local businesses and users for their patience while we conduct these works.
