Linking central Victoria via the old railway line
Trail goes under the highway at Axedale
Posted by on Jan 11, 2014
The gap between Axedale river reserve (where the rail trail currently ends) and the pedestrian bridge over the Campaspe on the other side of the highway is currently closed while a tunnel is constructed under the road.
Preparation work started on 6 January 2014 and over the weekend Saturday 11 January and Sunday 12 January the highway is closed. This will allow the pre-formed concrete underpass to be put in place. The remainder of the work – resealing the road, concreting ramps and so on will be done during the following week.

Breakthrough: the space for the underpass is dug out. Next step will be installation of the concrete tunnel. (Photo: Ken Hanson)
Advisory signs in the area give alternative routes for various vehicles. See also the City of Greater Bendigo’s public notice about the closure.
