Sealing of Omeo Highway to Start
The Victorian Government has announced that work is to commence on sealing the first section of the Omeo Highway.
Minister for Roads Terry Mulder today announced that the Victorian Coalition Government is delivering on yet another election commitment with work starting on sealing of the unsealed sections of the Omeo Highway.
"Linking north-eastern Victoria and Gippsland, the Omeo Highway is a major tourist road and a key route for the timber industry," Mr Mulder said.
"Sealing the unsealed sections will boost tourism and local industry by creating a safer and more convenient route for road users, and providing a safe bitumen surface ensures that the road will be more accessible in wet weather and snowy conditions."
Approximately 28 kilometres of the Omeo Highway remain unsealed in two separate sections. The Government has committed $8 million to commence work on the first unsealed section approximately 10 kilometres south of Mitta Mitta. The second section to be sealed is located 40 kilometres south of Mitta Mitta.
Businesses in the Valley have welcomed the announcement.
"The Omeo Highway provides a vital link for residents to access schools, employment and medical services, andis one of only four routes between the north-east and Gippsland," Mr Mulder said.
