Works to upgrade the Shoalmarra Drive and Mount Low Parkway intersection in Townsville began today, thanks to $1.5 million in funding from the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program.

The first sod was turned today on the second stage of the South Orange Economic Development Corridor—Southern Feeder Road project, which is set to improve efficiency, reliability and safety on the heavy vehicle route south of Orange, NSW.

The upgrade of a two-kilometre stretch of Ponto Falls Road from gravel to bitumen seal is now complete, providing a safer journey for motorists travelling in the Wellington region.
