BANNOCKBURN road users may begin to feel safer next year when they travel through the town\u2019s north-east entrance.<\/p>\n

Construction on a new roundabout at the five-way intersection, where Clyde and Shelford-Bannockburn Roads meet Kelly Road, adjacent to the railway line, is on track to begin.<\/p>\n

Expected to commence in 2020, Senator for Victoria David Van said the government is planning works.<\/p>\n

\u201cDepartment of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development is expecting to receive a delivery project proposal report in the coming weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Bannockburn Entrance project is expected to be completed in 2021.<\/p>\n

Golden Plains Shire Mayor, Cr Owen Sharkey recently urged the Federal government to \u201cmove forward\u201d with works, having had sustained concerns about the intersection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federal government made a firm commitment to fund the $3.2 million project<\/a>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe busy intersection is clearly a serious safety issue and the new roundabout is a top priority for local residents and Golden Plains Shire Council.\u201d<\/p>\n

Member for Corangamite, Libby Coker hoped there wouldn\u2019t be a fatality in the meantime.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critical that the Morrison government makes this project a priority. Residents and visitors are at risk every time they approach this dangerous intersection,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project addresses the risks to residents and visitors who use this five-way intersection that merges right at the entrance to the business district of Bannockburn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
