Members statements- Melbourne-Lancefield Road

Mr J. BULL (Sunbury) — A couple of weeks ago I joined the state member for Macedon for a fantastic announcement — $20 million to fix more than 35 kilometres of road between Sunbury and Lancefield.

As members would know, this is one of Victoria’s most dangerous roads, but the Andrews Labor government is going to fix that. The upgrade will include new overtaking lanes, up to 18 kilometres of flexible road safety barriers and rumble strips to prevent head-on collisions and run-off road crashes.

Up to seven overtaking lanes will enable motorists to pass one another safely, widening and sealing the road shoulder and ensuring safe local access to properties.

I want to thank the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, the Transport Accident Commission, VicRoads, Victoria Police and, of course, the community for their hard work in making this vital upgrade happen.
