An intersection in Altona Meadows will be upgraded thanks to new federal and state government funding.
A total of $1.08 million will be invested to improve the intersection of Point Cook Road and Central Avenue.
The upgrade will see the installation of new Pedestrian Operated Signals across Central Avenue, raised safety platforms, pedestrian fencing, and upgrades to street lighting.
Works are anticipated to commence in May 2022 and be completed by June 2022.
Roads and Road Safety Minister Ben Carroll said Victoria has always been at the forefront of road safety and road safety initiatives.
“We’re investing in better and safer road infrastructure to drive down road trauma and ensure Victorians can make it home safely every day.”
Member for Altona Hon Jill Hennessy said: “As the West continues to see significant growth, delivering these upgrades as soon as possible is crucial to protecting all road users while also boosting our economy on the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The upgrades are funded under the Road Safety Program, with the federal government contributing $112.46 million and the state government providing $45.11 million.
