Five high-risk rural road intersections have been upgraded along Labuan Road in Strathmerton as part of a program to improve road safety.
The minor works are part of a broader $1.1 million intersection upgrade program around Cobram and Strathmerton, funded through the national Black Spot program
The intersections along Labuan Road are: Fowlers and MacArthur roads, Boards and Churchill roads, Montgomery Road, Rankins Road, and Spences and Blamey roads.
Works included pavement repairs and widening, line marking and signage upgrades, line of sight improvements and road shoulder and drainage repairs.
Moira Shire Council Chair Administrator Dr Graeme Emonson PSM said road safety was a key priority for Council, especially concerning addressing known or high-risk accident locations.
"Our rural roads are important in connecting our families to our major towns and as thoroughfares to major arterial roads," Dr Emonson said.
"It's important we are upgrading all of our roads, including our rural roads network, which will help create safer journeys and improve visibility at risky intersections."
Work is currently underway in partnership with the Department of Transport to finalise designs for two other intersection upgrades as part of the upgrade package.
Works on the Benalla-Tocumwal Road/Healey Road and Murray Valley Highway/Campbell Road intersections are expected to be completed by mid-2026.
