MEMBER for Northern Victoria Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell has called on the State Government to repair a dangerous section of Echuca Road in Mooroopna.
Addressing the Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melissa Horne in State Parliament, Mrs Tyrrell acknowledged that while part of Echuca Rd had recently been repaired, she had received complaints from constituents regarding the southbound lane of the road between MacIsaac and McFarlane Roads.
“Echuca Rd in Mooroopna is a very busy thoroughfare used by thousands of vehicles each week and my office has been contacted by many constituents about the dangerous condition of this section of road,” Mrs Tyrrell said.
In her contribution, Mrs Tyrrell said road users had reported to her bubbling, pitting, crumbling, potholes and rutting of the road’s surface along this stretch of road.
“Several constituents even reported witnessing vehicles veering off course due to the terrible condition of the road, almost colliding with the curb.”
“The condition of the surface of this stretch of road is clearly unacceptable and a danger to all drivers who use it,” Mrs Tyrrell said.
“As such, I have asked Minister Horne to direct Regional Roads Victoria to undertake urgent repairs of this section of Echuca Road before a serious incident takes place.”
