Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish has raised the question of Goulburn Valley Hwy flooding at Cathkin, in State Parliament.
“ I refer the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to the road safety program on the Goulburn Valley Highway between Yea and Cath-kin and raise my question on behalf of the local emergency services.
“The next stage of the project will see the installation of centre wire rope barriers on the Goulburn Valley Highway between Molesworth and Cathkin. “On this section of the highway at Home Creek the road is subject to regular flooding. This causes hazard-ous conditions, posing risk and disruption for drivers. “Part of the road is often closed. Obviously having barriers in the centre of the road at this point will be troublesome and unsafe for drivers unless the road is treated appropriately to address this matter.
“This would involve raising the road above the regular flood line. Minister, will you instruct VicRoads to use this opportunity to treat this road issue at the same time as
the installation of the centre wire rope barriers?”
Ms McLeish said it was a better option than dealing with the consequences of not having it addressed.
