FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has reminded motorists to be mindful of speed limits and road crews with work along the Sale alternative route.

Mr Chester secured funding from the previous federal government for bridge strengthening works along the route.

“The Sale alternative route has become increasingly popular over the years, and as a result, improvements have been made to the shoulders as well as other safety upgrades funded by the state and federal governments,” Mr Chester said.

“The bridge upgrades are expected to be complete later this year, and will make the road more accessible for heavy transport operators for years to come.

“While delays can be frustrating for motorists, please remember to obey all temporary speed limits and be respectful of crews and their safety while undertaking the work.”
