Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said this funding will upgrade 92 locations across the State, helping to make our roads safer and more efficient while also supporting local jobs.
"The Black Spot Program is an important part of our program of works, ensuring the most hazardous roads are targeted for improvement each year," she said.
"Since the program's inception in 2000 almost half a billion dollars has been allocated to upgrade and improve safety on our roads."
More than $21 million has been allocated by the State Government, with an additional $5 million to be provided by local governments.
