Nixon Street in Shepparton will soon receive a $2.1 million upgrade, including a new roundabout at the intersection of Harold and Nixon Streets, after Council progressed the tender at the July Council Meeting.
Local company Mawson Constructions Pty Ltd were successful in receiving the tender for $2,100,902.20, which involves the construction of road pavement, kerb, drainage, and a new roundabout on Nixon Street, between Corio Street and Skene Street.
The upgrade is needed to address the ageing road assets in the area and to help improve intersection safety for motorists and pedestrians. Works are expected to commence on Monday 1 August 2022 with completion scheduled for December 2022, weather permitting.
The scope of works include demolition of the existing kerb, drainage and road pavement, installation of stormwater drainage, installation of tree cells and associated tree plantings, construction of concrete kerbing, footpaths and pedestrian crossings, and installation of line marking and signage.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali said the upgrade was needed to ensure the infrastructure met the current and future needs of the community.
“This strip of Nixon Street is a busy one, used by both motorists and pedestrians, and therefore it is important we address the ageing assets to ensure road safety is maintained. While there may be some disruptions in the area at the time of the works, the end result will ensure a safer experience for residents and visitors,” he said.
“Council are extremely pleased to be able to offer this extensive contract to a local company with years of experience in the region.”
