SIX Loddon railway crossings will be upgraded under a State and Federal Government program.
Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King announced the $54 million program for 32 high-priority railway level crossing improvements.
Local works on the list are crossings on the Bridgewater-Dunolly Road at Arnold and Llanelly will see $3.2 million spent on flashing lights, boom barriers, axle counters.
Also on the list are Prices Road and Mologa-Durham Ox Road crossings at Pyramid Hill, Greenhills Road at Raywood and Boort-Charlton Road at Charlton but no details have been released.
Ripon MP Martha Haylett said: “Country level crossings can be dangerous places for motorists, pedestrians and train drivers.
“These upgrades will make such a difference to the people who drive through these level crossings every day,” Ms Haylett said.
Ms King said: “From Swan Hill to Gippsland, this funding is supporting upgrades like boom gates, signage, flashing lights and rumble strips, to better alert motorists and pedestrians approaching regional railway crossings.”
