TRAFFIC relief is on the way for motorists who use the congested Pound Road/South Gippsland Highway roundabout in Dandenong South.
The intersection will receive a much-needed $36.8million upgrade, including traffic lights, in the 2008-2009 state budget.
The upgrade would include the widening of the Pound Road Bridge over the South freeway, improvements to the freeway on and off ramps, and a new signalised intersection at Pound Road and South Gippsland Highway.
Lyndhurst MP Tim Holding said the bottleneck at the roundabout was a major source of frustration for south eastern motorists.
"For motorists this upgrade will mean less time in the car and more at home with the family,'' he said.
