Mr J. BULL — I am also very pleased to announce that work on the $2.3 million upgrade to improve safety on Riddell Road is finished. It is a project that I announced last year. The upgrade has included the installation of 3.8 kilometres of guard rail and 1.1 kilometres of wire rope safety barriers, as well as improved line marking and drainage.

On top of this, I joined VicRoads to announce that work has finally begun on the $3.1 million upgrade to boost safety at the Mickleham Road and Melrose Drive intersection in Tullamarine. Many residents have raised this issue with me a number of times. I know the member for Broadmeadows is also concerned about this intersection. I consider this roundabout to be extremely dangerous.

We are getting on with it and we are fixing this intersection, much to the delight of residents who rely on this intersection to get to and from work, home and local events. The upgrade includes widening the approaching lanes around the roundabout, an additional lane north of Melrose Drive and improved street lighting, signage, line marking and skid resistance. It has been a great start to 2016, and I look forward to the year and delivering in spades for the community.
