A special presentation has taught local Year 12 students how the Bridge Inn Road Upgrade is protecting the local environment.
The project team recently visited Doreen’s Plenty Valley Christian College to make a presentation in support of the school’s Environmental Science curriculum.
The students learned how the upgrade minimises environmental impacts and supports sustainability through activities like air and water quality monitoring and the use of recycled materials.
The students’ learnings from the presentation will contribute to their assessments.
The school is part of the wider community in Doreen and Mernda and set to benefit from the Bridge Inn Road Upgrade.
The project is adding extra lanes in both directions between Plenty Road, Mernda, and Yan Yean Road, Doreen. Other improvements include intersection upgrades, installation of safety barriers and construction of shared walking and cycling paths.
The upgrade is also building a new bridge over Plenty River and repurposing the existing 155-year-old heritage bridge as a dedicated walking and cycling path.
The upgrade will deliver safer, more reliable travel along Bridge Inn Road while improving access to local amenities and public transport.
The Bridge Inn Road Upgrade will be completed by 2025.
