LONG awaited upgrades along the Bass Highway at Kilcunda after expected to commence early next year following the summer period.
Minister for Roads and Road Safety Ben Carroll said the $7.8 million investment will deliver a series of safety upgrades on the main road.
Improvements will include new pedestrian operated traffic light signals, turning lanes and better parking facilities along the Bass Highway.
A new and more visible crossing for the Bass Coast Rail Trail will provide safer access to the trail and the beach.
There will be new pedestrian operated traffic signals on the Bass Highway between Peppermint Road and Carew Street.
The highway will receive intersection improvements including dedicated turning lanes at Peppermint Road, Carew Street and Holiday Retreat Road providing safer overtaking opportunities.
Improved parking facilities and a new bus stop will also be completed as part of the project.
Works are expected to be completed by early 2025.
This project is part of a State Government $226.7 million investment to improve safety on high-priority roads and intersections across Victoria, including the Gippsland regions Strzelecki Highway near Mirboo North and Morwell.
