Works are underway to improve a key freight intersection in the farming community within Katunga, Victoria.
The intersection of Numurkah, Sandmount and Hendys Road is being upgraded to two new simplified T-intersections.
The works will see the northern stretch of Hendys Road closed, a new right turning lane added on Numurkah Road, the relocation of the Sandmount Road intersection to meet Numurkah Road and improved signage and line marking.
Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes, said the upgrade will benefit heavy vehicle operators in the region.
“Katunga is in the heart of the Goulburn Valley’s rich farming region, so this upgrade will help our farmers, freight operators and suppliers travel safely and easily navigate the intersection,” she said.
The project is being delivered as part of the Australian and Victorian Governments’ jointly-funded Targeted Road Safety Works (TRSW) Program, with $105.7 million invested to deliver infrastructure projects and urgent road safety improvements in Victoria.
“We’re upgrading this intersection at Katunga to improve road conditions for motorists as they travel through the area, and to help make sure that locals get home safely,” said Victorian Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Melissa Horne.
The works are expected to take 14 weeks to complete, weather permitting.
