This week marked the start of a vital safety upgrade for a connector road near Invergordon following a series of vehicle accidents.
The $1.08 million initiative will transform a 3.9km unsealed stretch of Wunghnu Rd between Labuan Rd and Katamatite-Shepparton Rd into a safer, wider, sealed surface.
“This is a really important road upgrade, and we are pleased to see construction now under way following a rigorous procurement process,” Moira Shire Council chair administrator Graeme Emonson said.
“We are grateful to the Federal Government for supporting this project through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
“Improving our road network is a key priority for council, as we know people rely on safe transport networks to connect across our shire for work, recreation and study.”
Local contractor OLEX Civil has been appointed for the construction works, which will include enhanced line marking and improved intersection signage to reduce the risk of accidents.
Motorists should be mindful of traffic detours and intermittent road closures throughout the construction period.
Works are expected to be completed by late June.
