The Albanese and Allan Labor governments are delivering safer and smoother journeys for motorists in Victoria's east, with safety upgrades underway along Moe-Glengarry Road and Main-Neerim Road.
Twenty-seven kilometres of Moe-Glengarry Road between Newborough and Glengarry and 21 kilometres of Main-Neerim Road between Rokeby and Noojee will have safety improvements.
Works include sealing shoulders, side-road entries and vehicle pull-over areas, line marking and signage improvements.
Main-Neerim Road will also have upgraded safety barriers and a lowered speed limit of 80 km/h between Old Sale Road in Drouin West and Bloomfield Road in Crossover, while Moe-Glengarry Road will have new safety barriers installed.
These critical works will improve safety for everyone by reducing the risk and severity of crashes, improve traction by removing dirt and gravel on the road, and help drivers stay in control if their vehicle leaves the road.
Both roads provide key links for local community industries accessing essential services, including farmland, the Yallourn Power Station and tourists accessing the alpine resort township of Mount Baw Baw.
The Federal and Victorian governments are investing $9.26 million into both projects as part of the Road Safety Program to improve road network safety and efficiency.
Temporary lane closures and reduced speed limits will be in place to help drivers travel safely though the construction areas.
