Motorists are being asked to stay alert, with new traffic conditions now in place along the Bruce Highway as part of the Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue upgrade (Stage 1).

The changes, which began 12 April, are tied to ongoing pavement works and mark another step forward in a project aimed at managing increasing traffic demands on this section of the highway.
For drivers, the most noticeable difference is in lane conditions. On the northbound side, the fast lane is now separated from the middle and left lanes between Dohles Rocks Road and just beyond Anzac Avenue. This means motorists intending to exit at Anzac Avenue must remain in the middle or left lanes, as access from the fast lane is currently unavailable. Similar arrangements are expected southbound, with works rolling out shortly after on that side of the highway.
Transport and Main Roads has advised that these temporary changes will remain in place through to late May, weather and construction conditions permitting. Reduced speed limits and overnight lane closures are also part of the works, particularly during night shifts when crews are active on site.
While the changes may take some getting used to, they form part of a broader upgrade aimed at managing increasing traffic demands on this section of the highway.
Stage 1 flythrough
Stage 1 of the project focuses on extending ramps and improving access at key points along the corridor. This includes a new northbound entry ramp from Dohles Rocks Road that will continue as an auxiliary lane through to the Anzac Avenue exit, as well as a new southbound exit ramp connecting back to Dohles Rocks Road. New ramp metering signals will also be introduced to better manage vehicles entering the highway.
Upgrades to intersections along Dohles Rocks Road are part of the plan, alongside changes to local access. Notably, direct access to Goodrich Road East will be removed, with drivers instead directed via Silvereye Drive. New and upgraded noise barriers are also included as part of the works.

Looking ahead, future stages of the project propose larger-scale improvements, including collector-distributor roads, upgrades to the Anzac Avenue interchange, and a shared pedestrian and cycling path. However, these later stages are still subject to further approvals and funding availability.
For now, motorists are urged to follow signage and traffic instructions as the new layout settles in.
