Greater Shepparton City Council will soon begin stage two of the Verney Road upgrade between Hawkins Street and Graham Street. The works will begin on Monday 29 February 2016 and are due to be completed by late August 2016.
Stage 2 of the Verney Road works will be undertaken by Mawson Constructions Pty Ltd and NL Drainage Pty Ltd and will include new underground storm water drainage, renewing an old Goulburn Valley Water main, relocation of power poles, road pavement construction, Hotmix asphalt, concrete works, line-marking and street furniture.
Greater Shepparton City Council Director of Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker, said “once completed the upgraded road will provide a safer and more comfortable trip for road users and will have improved drainage. We apologise for the minor inconvenience of detours and delays but the final product will be a safer road for pedestrians, cyclists, cars and freight users”
“The stage two works will require traffic to be reduced to one lane at times so residents need to allow extra time when travelling along Verney Road and need to be patient,” Mr Bowmaker said.
The first stage from Ford Rd to Hawkins St was completed in May 2015 and the final stages will be constructed over the next two financial years.
