Roadworks on the Bucketts Way south of the township of Stratford are now complete.
This project is part of a $25 million package of works along the Bucketts Way and will improve road safety and provide opportunities for regional development.
The upgrade included the full road reconstruction of 1.9 kilometres of the Bucketts Way between Upper Avon Road at Craven and Wood Street in Stratford.
