Shepparton’s Alternative Route

01/07/2008

Opened in 1992, Shepparton’s Alternative Route for heavy vehicles was a joint project involving the former City and Shire of Shepparton and VicRoads. Recent traffic counts show that 70 per cent of semi trailers and 95 per cent of B-doubles on the Goulburn Valley Highway use the Alternative Route rather than going through Shepparton’s CBD.
