Media Release from the Office of MP Michael McCormack, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Monday, 24 April 2020
Communities in the Southern Tablelands and those living in Canberra’s north are encouraged to have their say on the Barton Highway upgrade with the Review of Environmental Factors now released for public consultation.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the project would duplicate the highway from the ACT border to Murrumbateman.
“We want to improve safety for commuters travelling into Canberra from Murrumbateman and Yass. We know how important this is to the people living in this region,” Mr McCormack said.
“The Barton Highway upgrade will make journeys in and out of Canberra more reliable, it will ease congestion, improve driver safety and boost freight productivity, with the added benefit of driving economic growth and enhancing tourism in the area.”
