Greater Shepparton City Council is advising drivers to travel safely around roadworks and school crossings.

Drivers should exercise caution around the Midland Hwy, Toolamba Rd and the Echuca Rd intersection in Mooroopna, with an increase in traffic in these areas due to ongoing roadworks on Echuca Rd.

Some parts of the intersection are closed to pedestrians, meaning pedestrians may cross the road in different areas.

A school crossing supervisor is on duty to help parents and kids cross safely in the area.

Council is reminding drivers to watch out for pedestrians, school crossing supervisors, and other road users.

Motorists are reminded to follow the traffic signals in place when travelling through the area and remain patient during peak times.

The roadworks on Echuca Rd are expected to finish in approximately three weeks.
