McNairn Road railroad crossing in Traralgon secures $900,000 from Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program by Darren Chester
Progress is underway on the Traralgon railway crossing safety upgrade, funded by Darren Chester. The project, administered by Latrobe City Council, aims to provide a safe pedestrian crossing by the end of May.
Work is progressing well on a long-awaited safety upgrade to a Traralgon railway crossing, according to local MP Darren Chester. Mr Chester secured $900,000 from the previous federal government for Latrobe City Council to undertake the McNairn Road project through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester and State Member for Morwell Martin Cameron are pleased that work has started on the McNairn Road railway crossing project
Mr Chester said, "The crossing is currently not safe for pedestrians and is putting lives at risk and it's good to see work has started. The community has been seeking this upgrade for several years and a proper pedestrian crossing will mean locals won't have to make risky decisions around oncoming traffic and trains." Latrobe City Council is administering the project which is expected to be completed by the end of May.
