Maintenance works are now complete at the Warburton Highway and Wellington Road intersection in Wandin North.

The 200-metre section has been structurally restored including asphalting and repainting road markings as part of the State Government’s road maintenance blitz.

Road safety and TAC Minister Jaala Pulford said the $462,500 investment will help motorists who travel along this section of the Highway enjoy a smoother and safer journey.

“We are getting on and delivering road safety upgrades right across the state – including in Wandin North.”

“It’s all part of our massive maintenance blitz which is seeing hundreds of kilometres of roads right across greater Melbourne rebuilt, strengthened and upgraded.”

Eastern Victoria Region member Harriet Shing said the upgrade is vital for road safety in the region.

“Although traffic levels are significantly lower at the moment as people stay at home, the completion of this upgrade is a big part of our ongoing work to improve the safety and amenity of roads around the area.”
