“While it’s great to see the Government tackling congestion by getting on with the M80 upgrade and North East Link, it’s equally heartening to see a recognition of the importance of road maintenance and safety upgrades, especially across the regional road network,” says RA President, David Stuart-Watt.
“It’s absolutely essential that we stay on top of the road maintenance task. Neglecting maintenance not only causes short-term pain for road users, but in dollar terms costs the community more in the longer-term.”
Mr Stuart-Watt described the Government’s commitment to completion of the Metropolitan Ring Road as ‘a significant win for future generations of Victorians’.
