$1.3M safety revamp to start

Indigo Shire chief executive, Trevor Ierno said the project focussed specifically on pedestrian safety and was no longer connected to the previous joint state and federal project to explore a heavy vehicle alternative route for Rutherglen.

Improvements in the $1.3million project will include a new pedestrian-operated signal crossing between High Street and Murphy Street, replacing the existing time-based school crossing, and with speed cushions on the approach.

There will be a zebra crossing on Main Street near Warrens Lane, raised safety platforms and zebra crossings on High Street, and two kerb outstands near Bowling Green Lane.
