AUSTRALIA : WORKS begin on $2.64 million road contract
Publish Date : 12-Dec-2011
Peter Walsh, Member for Swan Hill stated that a $2.64 million contract has been awarded to RE Civil Pty Ltd in Northern Victoria to rebuild numerous VicRoads controlled roads affected by the floods in January.
According to Mr Walsh, the works for rebuilding the sections of the Murray Valley Highway and the Kerang-Koondrook, Kerang-Murrabit, Bendigo-Pyramid and Boort-Charlton Roads has been commenced by the company.
Mr Walsh said, “Many of these roads were badly damaged during the January floods and it is vital that we begin the process of rebuilding them. The works include repairs to a 1.7km section of the Murray Valley Highway between the Loddon Valley Highway and Sleepy Lane in Kerang, which has remained closed with signed detours since January 2011.”
It is estimated that the works will be finished by the end of March next year.
He added, “So far, $78.9 million has been spent on repairing flood damaged VicRoads controlled roads state-wide. VicRoads and its contractors are working hard to restore access and reduce the impact the floods have had on Victorians. The Victorian Coalition Government is committed to reopening these roads so that local communities and industry can return to normal.”
