Mornington Peninsula Shire says it is continuing to make progress on the Peninsula Trail’s Somerville to Baxter link while working through some additional requirements that were highlighted during the design phase of the project.
The slight delay in construction is due to fencing conditions.
In a press release they say the are working closely with the Department of Transport and Planning and Metro Trains Melbourne to resolve this as quickly as possible so we can still meet project milestones.
It is anticipated that the design will be finalised and tenders for construction will go out in early 2024. They say they are confident construction will begin in 2024 with the estimated completion date announced once the design is finalised.
When complete, the trail will extend over 100km and offer a continuous off-road cycling and walking track around the Mornington Peninsula.
