Funds to fix dangerous creek crossing

WE"RE taking action to correct a notorious traffic black spot near Ayr, by providing funding of $430,000 under the Liberal National Government's Black Spot Programme.The Plantation Creek crossing on Old Clare Road is a single lane bridge with poor visibility due to the road alignment.There have been several accidents here in recent years so work will be undertaken to widen the creek crossing and improve the horizontal and vertical alignment.We want to ensure our local road network is safer for all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.I also want to hear from anyone who knows of other roads or intersections in need of attention.Anyone can submit nominations for black spot funding.There's additional funding and broader eligibility for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 financial years.Find out more at: http://investment.infrastructure.gov.au/funding/blackspots/index.aspx
