Mornington Peninsula Shire advises that construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Bungower Rd and Tyabb- Tooradin Rd means that there will be road closures and traffic impacts at this site for approximately 12 weeks.

It is recommended that you avoid the area unless you have a local destination and cannot avoid using that intersection.

People transporting large and or heavy loads are advised seek alternative routes and other traffic which must go through the area should follow the signed detour route  for this period.
