ABOUT $43,460,000 million in funding will soon arrive to fix Southern Downs roads but Warwick safety experts believe the cash could be better spend elsewhere.
Two local roads to reap intersection upgrades would be Cunningham Hwy between Gladfield Back Rd and Goomburra Rd worth $990,000; and Amiens Rd, Thulimbah School Rd, and Tennant Rd worth $240,000.
Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the funding was welcome news for ratepayers as well as the “financial sustainability” of council.
It would also be a relief to regular users of the roads, he said.
“Obviously they’ve been identified by people over time for their problems and these two are the top of the list,” he said.
