Motorists reminded of mindful speed limits as alternative route around Sale in Wellington Shire continues
Sale alternative route upgrade continues.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has reminded motorists to be mindful of speed limits and road crews with work along the Sale alternative route. Mr Chester secured funding from the previous federal government for bridge strengthening works along the route. "The Sale alternative route has become increasingly popular over the years and as a result improvements have been made to the shoulders as well as other safety upgrades funded by the state and federal governments."
The alternate route will provide improved access to these key ports for the Gippsland region and others that must use the Princes Highway, enabling a safer and efficient route
Mr Chester said, "The bridge upgrades are expected to be complete later this year and will make the road more accessible for heavy transport operators for years to come. While delays can be frustrating for motorists please remember to obey all temporary speed limits and be respectful of crews and their safety while undertaking the work."
