Federal Holt Liberal candidate James Mathias has pledged $276,000 for road upgrades if a Turnbull Government is elected.
Under the package, $226,000 will be allocated towards a single-lane roundabout and street lighting at the Childers and Russell streets intersection in Cranbourne.
Mr Mathias also promised $50,000 for flashing ‘Give Way to Pedestrian’ signs at the corner of Power Road and Box Street, Doveton.
He said the funding was being directed toward roads and intersections that had been identified as dangerous.
“These particular locations will be recognised by locals as sites where accidents have occurred in the past or through their own near misses.”
The funding was part of a $500 million, four-year black spot federal program ending in 2018-19.
“I look forward to seeing these upgrades carried out and will also be fighting for additional funding to support further upgrades for our local roads,” Mr Mathias said.
