INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District Suzanna Sheed has called on the Victorian Government to repair large portions of the Goulburn Valley Highway and Hume Freeway from Shepparton to Melbourne.
Ms Sheed raised the issue with Premier Dan Andrews in August, initiating a regional road repair blitz to be announced.
Recently, however, Ms Sheed said that these roads had not been repaired and were becoming even more dangerous.
Having to drive on the centre line on her way to Melbourne to avoid large potholes, Ms Sheed could not understand why guardrails were being repaired on a broken and neglected freeway, saying,
“I understand that the guardrails are for the safety of motorists but to see that work being done on a broken and neglected freeway does not make sense.
“Let’s get our basic road works done before we concentrate on additional safety measures,” Ms Sheed concluded.
