Northern Victoria Region
Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:44): (424) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it concerns the dreadful condition of a major road within my electorate. The C363 Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road is a major thoroughfare that carries a large volume of traffic each day. A constituent recently contacted me about two sections of the C363 that are particularly dangerous for road users. Recent repair works on the southbound lane at the intersection of Victoria Road are so poor that the road is uneven and the bitumen is breaking away because of the heavy traffic volume that uses the road. Large potholes near the intersection of Jubilee Road cover the northbound lanes of the road and are so deep that they have the potential to damage vehicles or cause an accident. Will the minister order immediate repairs to the southbound lane of the Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road at the Victoria Road intersection and the northbound lane near Jubilee Road?
