Greater Shepparton City Council awarded a contract to Mawson Constructions Pty Ltd for the upgrade of the Welsford Street and Knight Street intersection at Tuesday evening’s Council meeting in Tatura.
Works on the bend of Welsford Street into Knight Street (near the RSL) will begin within the next few weeks. It is anticipated the works will be completed by the end of January
Commuters using Welsford Street will continue to use the new road north bound. The south bound traffic will continue to detour via Wyndham Street until these works are completed. Vehicular access to businesses and the parking on the east side of Welsford Street will have access via Nixon Street.
“Works on the Welsford St/Nixon St intersection are now substantially complete and Council is working with VicRoads and the contractor to install the traffic signals. Street trees will be planted progressively over the next few weeks in this area,” said Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Phil Hoare.
“We ask for your attention to and adherence with all traffic management signage for your own safety and that of pedestrians, other travellers and road workers” said Mr Hoare.
