Horseshoe bend road is located to the east of Torquay and runs parallel with the Surf Coast Highway from Surf Coast Shire boundary Lower Mount Duneed Road to The Esplanade. Horseshoe bend road is a key connector road within Torquay which has seen an increase in volume of traffic with the current residential development in the area and is used by locals as an alternative access to Geelong and the Bellarine area. South Beach Road is deemed as a major link between Surf Coast highway and Horseshoe bend road on the outskirts of Torquay North and is used by commuters to Geelong and Melbourne.
Due to the rapid increased resident and commercial development in the Torquay growth area it was anticipated that traffic volumes in this location will grow greatly in the near future. As such Surf Coast Shire facilitated upgrading the existing intersection of Horseshoe bend road and South Beach Road to a roundabout providing an adequate central island and traffic lanes on all approaches and departures to accommodate future traffic volumes.
