GV Hwy set for safety upgrade funds in budget

The 80 km stretch of highway between Shepparton and Seymour is part what the Australian Government calls the Seymour-Toowoomba (Queensland) road corridor.

The big-ticket item for Victoria is a $2 billion intermodal freight hub connecting road and rail freight and linking to the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project.

“From building the intermodal Melbourne needs for a better future for freight and productivity, to improving the key road connections in the outer suburbs and regional areas - these projects will support more than 3000 direct and indirect jobs across Victoria,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.

“Our record funding commitment is creating jobs, boosting business investment, while securing Australia’s COVID recovery.”
