By Portal Admin - 13th January 2018 - Back to News

VicRoads is calling for community feedback on a proposed Traralgon Bypass and Council is urging residents and visitors to the region to have their say.

Latrobe City Council’s mayor, Councillor Darrell White, said providing feedback would ensure that the community had a voice.

"The provision of a safer and more efficient road link through our regional city, for our growing communities and for the many visitors to the region is a priority. VicRoads is asking for your thoughts and opinions to get a better understanding of the challenges affecting motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

"Please go to the link and leave your comments on your experiences on the Princes Highway in Traralgon, any concerns you have about specific locations along the Princes Highway in Traralgon and suggestions to improve safety and traffic flow along this road, and your thoughts about the route of the proposed Traralgon Bypass.

"This is a key project in our region and we would urge you to have your say," Cr White said.

To participate and share your views about the proposed Traralgon Bypass and the road network in Traralgon, visit engage.vicroads.vic.gov.au/traralgonbypass, write to Traralgon Bypass Engagement, VicRoads Eastern, PO Box 158, Traralgon, Vic 3844 or email traralgonbypass@roads.vic.gov.au
