SHORTEN LABOR GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP
TO UPGRADE THOMPSONS ROAD
A Shorten Labor Government will partner with the Victorian Labor Government to upgrade Thompsons Road and get local residents home sooner.
The upgrade will:
-
Duplicate high-volume sections of Thompsons Road to six lanes.
-
Build a full grade separation at the Western Port Highway intersection.
-
Upgrade intersections to Dandenong-Frankston Road and Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road.
A Shorten Labor Government will contribute $85 million to the partnership, which will improve safety and efficiency on this important road.
Member for Isaacs, Mark Dreyfus, said funding from a Shorten Labor Government would also see further planning for the full six-lane duplication option.
This is a big commitment and will mean a big improvement for local residents, said MrDreyfus.
This funding will see the duplication of high-volume sections of Thompsons Road, reducing travel time for local residents.
The Liberals have failed to invest in local roads at both a State and Federal level. This commitment shows that only Labor will seriously invest in roads and infrastructure.
