These works will result in a significantly improved state highway through Greytown, requiring fewer repairs and less maintenance in the future.
There will be a 24/7 northbound detour via Humphries Street, West Street and North Street while we’re doing these works. Southbound traffic can travel through at a reduced speed. There’ll be no carparks on the majority of Main Street, however businesses are still open, with full pedestrian access available. We encourage you to park on nearby streets such as West Street.
