A NEW roundabout, road pavement, plus kerb and drainage works are earmarked for Nixon Street in Shepparton, which will soon receive a $2.1M upgrade.
“This strip of Nixon Street is a busy one, used by both motorists and pedestrians, and therefore, it is important we address the ageing assets to ensure road safety is maintained,” said mayor Shane Sali.
“While there may be some disruptions in the area at the time of the works, the end result will ensure a safer experience for residents and visitors.”
The scope of the works includes demolition of the existing kerb, drainage and road pavement, installation of stormwater drainage, installation of tree cells and associated tree plantings, construction of concrete kerbing, footpaths, and pedestrian crossings, and installation of line marking and signage.
Local company Mawson Constructions Pty Ltd were successful at Greater Shepparton’s July council meeting, being awarded the million-dollar tender, which is to include a new roundabout on Nixon Street, between Corio and Skene Street.
Works are expected to commence Monday, August 1, with completion scheduled for December 2022, weather permitting.
