Benalla Rural City Council has completed gravel shoulder reconstruction works along Devenish Rd, Goorambat, from Goorambat township to Feldtman Rd.
The upgrade marks a significant improvement in road safety and accessibility for the Benalla Rural City community and rural road users.
By sealing the gravel shoulders, the project has transformed this stretch of road from a single carriageway to a double carriageway sealed road.
The enhanced design ensures smoother traffic flow, better load distribution and improved safety for all users.
Benalla Mayor Bernie Hearn said it was an important upgrade for the local community.
"Upgrades like this are about safety for all road users,” Cr Hearn said.
“They help everyone who lives, works, or travels around our rural city.
“Creating a double carriageway provides safer travel conditions and reduces the risk of accidents.
“This benefits families, businesses and visitors who travel on our local roads every day. We’re proud of what this upgrade will mean for our community.
“The recently completed works reflect council’s commitment to ensuring a safer and more reliable road network for our residents.
“Council remains committed to prioritising infrastructure projects that enhance the quality of life for the community it serves.”
This upgrade forms part of Benalla Rural City Council’s ongoing Capital Works Program.
