The next stage of the Yan Yean Road upgrade is set to commence later this year, with Decmil appointed as the preferred builder and major construction soon to follow.
The project, jointly funded by the state and federal governments, aims to enhance safety and ease congestion for residents in Doreen, Plenty and Yarrambat.
Yan Yean MP Lauren Kathage, expressed enthusiasm for the long-awaited works.
“I know the community is keen to see work on stage two of Yan Yean Road kick off. I am, too! With a preferred builder, Decmil, now on board and major construction scheduled to start later this year, I’m proud to see this work make life easier for local families,” she said.
As part of the upgrade, extra lanes will be added in each direction between Kurak Road and Bridge Inn Road and eight key intersections will be improved.
The first stage will prioritise upgrades at the Yan Yean, Bridge Inn, and Doctors Gully roads intersection.
McEwen MP Rob Mitchell called the project a “game-changer” for northern communities.
“The joint funding between the Albanese and Allan Labor Governments has ensured this project gets done and will help improve safety and decrease congestion for our residents,” he said.
