Date Time In for a penny, in for a Pound Road West Upgrade Drivers in Dandenong South are a step closer to safer, smoother and more reliable journeys, with a contract awarded to upgrade Pound Road West. Seymour Whyte Constructions will build the project, in partnership with Major Road Projects Victoria, as part of the biggest suburban road upgrade program in Victoria’s history, boosting the state’s economy and creating thousands of jobs. Federal Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said the upgrade will improve traffic flow and travel times, and reduce growing traffic pressure on South Gippsland Highway and Abbotts Road.
