Shoppers in the Vaughan and Maude Streets precinct will be wondering when the construction works to this important intersection are to finish.

Works started in February to remove the old roundabout that dominated the intersection and quickly moved to install new traffic signals as well as reconfigure the intersection to reflect the new changes.

While the planned completion is expected sometime this month, the actual completion date is not known.

Greater Shepparton City Council director Infrastructure, Phil Hoare, said “We are happy to see works progressing along Maude Street, we have completed the gas upgrade with the water main works nearing completion as well. Greater Shepparton residents will see a lot of work occurring above ground. We are working closely with the traders in Maude Street and it’s important that our community is aware that these businesses will be open and accessible during the works.

“It is exciting to see the major redevelopments happening and we are really looking forward to the significant improvements being completed.

“We ask motorists and pedestrians to stay alert when travelling in this area, as works progress changes to traffic and pedestrian conditions will vary” said Mr Hoare.
