Cardinia Council has begun works to seal six kilometres of Mount Lyall Road in Heath Hill as part of the council’s $25 million Strategic Sealed Roads program.
Jointly funded by the council and the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure fund, the works would include road pavement construction, kerb and channel construction, drainage works, signage and line markings.
Westernport Ward councillor Kaye Cameron said the community was looking forward to the project being delivered.
“This Strategic Sealed Roads project will deliver safety benefits for the community and long-term cost savings by reducing maintenance, in an area where road repairs and maintenance are regularly requested,” she said.
“I’m excited to see that works have started on Mount Lyall Road, and I’d also like to ask the Westernport Ward community to be patient and obey traffic management while the works are being completed.”
The Strategic Sealed Roads program aims to create strategic links to the existing road network through sealing over 40 kilometres of currently unsealed road in 7 locations around the shire.
The Mount Lyall Road project was slated for completion by December, conditions permitting.
