 Adem SOMYUREK (Northern Metropolitan) (12:55): (1020) My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and is regarding the shutting down for an extended period of time of a vital intersection in Greenvale. In 2021 the intersection at Fleetwood Drive and Somerton Road, Greenvale, was shut down to enable the construction of a new intersection. Yet three years down the track the upgrade has still not been completed. I have received numerous complaints from local residents who are increasingly frustrated at the closure of this road. They understand the importance of this upgrade; nevertheless three years is a very long time to be inconvenienced by the closure. I ask the minister to communicate to the local community how much longer the residents must endure this massive inconvenience.
