Works on a new roundabout in Connewarre are underway looking to keep drivers safe on one of the region’s busiest roads
The upgrade at the intersection of Barwon Heads – Blackrock and Staceys Roads expected to be completed within ten months.
Funding from the state government coming as the area faces increased traffic.
Roads and Road Safety minister Melissa Horne said it was an essential upgrade.
“We know this part of our state is growing – that’s why we’re investing in this key infrastructure upgrade to ensure everyone can safely and quickly get to where they need to go,” she said.
“Whether it’s fixing local country roads or upgrading dangerous intersections, we’re getting on with making sure people have roads they can rely on.”
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchan said it would be a major improvement for the region.
“Keeping people safe on our roads is our number one priority – this new roundabout will make this intersection safer and simpler for the people who use it every day whether they’re walking, riding or driving.”
