FEDERAL Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese and Member for Gellibrand Nicola Roxon last week announced the Gillard Government will provide $235,000 to fix a dangerous black spot in Altona.
The intersection of Queen St and Bent St in Altona will be allocated $235,000 to construct a roundabout, relocate a pole and install street lighting.
The project was recommended by a panel of independent road safety experts and will be delivered during the course of the coming financial year.
Ms Roxon said since being elected in 2007, the Federal Government has allocated over $1.8 million to fix ten black spots across the Gellibrand electorate.
“This investment is helping to make our local roads even safer for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, with nine of these projects already completed,” Ms Roxon said.
“The good thing about our Black Spot program is that anyone can suggest an intersection or section of road they believe should be considered for a safety upgrade.
“Nomination forms are available from my office.
“Alternatively, they can be downloaded from: www.nationbuildingprogram.gov.au”
