$10 MILLION has been invested by the federal government for an upgrade to a key intersection at Isis River.
The funding joins another $2.5 million from the state government, with detailed designs already underway on the $12.5 million project.
Deputy Prime Minister and Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Minister Michael McCormack said the project would improve safety on the Bruce Highway.
“Our funding will construct dedicated turning lanes at the Buxton Rd intersection,” he said.
“To address concerns of local residents, the new lanes will separate through and turning traffic and reduce the potential for rear-end crashes.
“The Australian Government continues to roll out these types of major projects across the nation under our record $110 billion infrastructure investment plan, which is laying the foundations for our economic recovery.”
