Swan Hill Rural City Council has announced the successful completion of the Tresco West Road Upgrade project in Victoria.
Costing $567,000 and was completed under budget, the project has delivered valuable savings to the community and has allowed for the implementation of other road projects.
Approximately 360 metres of road in the area were upgraded to accommodate heavy vehicles as well as general traffic according to Swan Hill Rural City Council Director of Infrastructure, Leah Johnston.
“Intersecting roads were widened to support the safe movement of heavy vehicles, with the final surface finished in durable asphalt and long-lasting line marking,” she said.
“A further 100 metres of widening and rehabilitation was completed along Cornish Avenue, east of the railway line.”
Johnston praised the diligence of staff who worked closely with contractors to ensure the project was completed as efficiently as possible.
“Given the proximity to the railway line, Council provided vital support to help contractors secure the necessary approvals,” she said.
“We’re pleased with the improved safety and access this upgraded road now provides for local traffic, including heavy vehicles.”
