Wayside stop: lanes caught in review

FEDERAL funding of Calder Highway overtaking lanes is under review.

Lanes earmarked for construction at Derby are among projects the Government had sent for an independent review over the next three months.

Mallee MP Anne Webster said” “Right around Mallee one of the biggest issues raised with me is road safety.

“With such a high volume of traffic on the Calder Highway between Marong and Bridgewater these overtaking lanes are a key initiative to improve that,” she said.

“It beggars belief that with roads in such poor shape, Labor would consider pulling funding.”

“That section of the highway connects a large part of the growing Loddon community to work and education options in Bendigo as well as being an important freight and tourism route with Melbourne.”

Dr Webster said funding of other future work on the highway between Melbourne and Mildura had also been sent for review.

They are among 10 road and bridge projects in Mallee where funding is now in doubt.
