Getting Families Home Sooner And Safer In The West

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will deliver a major upgrade to roads in Wyndham Vale, cutting travel times and making local trips safer for families in Melbourne’s west.

We’ll invest up to $120 million to improve Ballan Road, upgrading the intersections of McGrath Road and Greens Road.

We’ll also invest a further $5 million in a traffic management action plan for Wyndham, to identify new ways to get people where they need to be sooner. We’ll consult with the Wyndham community and the City of Wyndham to develop an action plan to optimise traffic flows and maximise safety.

Since coming to government, we’ve improved congestion by upgrading roads across Werribee – removing three level crossings, delivering major upgrades for Ison Road and investing $1.8 billion to improve more than 260km of road from Werribee to Footscray as part of the Western Roads Upgrade.

We’re making local roads safer and less congested by upgrading the roundabouts on Ballan Road to include signals and adding new lanes.

Victorians in our suburbs know how important it is to have safe and reliable roads. That’s why we have invested $35 billion since 2014 to expand our road network and deliver important improvements, making our roads safer for every single Victorian.

Better yet – these investments have created thousands of Victorian jobs.

When it comes to creating jobs and building much-needed infrastructure, the Liberals can’t be trusted. They’ve already promised to “audit” much-needed local investments – Liberal code for cuts and closures.

Only a re-elected Labor Government will keep building to get Victorians home sooner and safer – because only Labor will do what matters.
