Council is pleased to announce the completion of the Buttercup Road intersection works in Merrijig. The Council-funded project included sealing of the intersection of Buttercup Road with Gonzaga Lane and School Lane.
A new turning layout has been introduced at the intersection which requires drivers to stop before crossing over Buttercup Road. Give way signs have also been installed on both sides of the road.
Mayor Cr James Tehan said this new intersection aims to create a safer route for all users.
“Council recognises the importance of providing safe and improved infrastructure for the community,” he said.
“We are listening to community feedback and continuing to review and prioritise roads that require maintenance and upgrading.
“The function of this new intersection will prepare oncoming traffic to stop, creating a safer area which was previously not in place, and the sealing will ensure a smoother road with less dust.
“We are pleased to see this work complete and ready for people to use,” concluded Cr Tehan.
The $93,100 project was completed on Thursday April 6 by Alpine Civil Pty Ltd.
