A NUMBER of black spots on Southern Downs roads are set to receive funding, after Federal LNP Member for Maranoa Bruce Scott yesterday announced more than $650,000 in funding to target black spot road projects in the Southern Downs region.

Mr Scott said nine nominated black spot road projects in the Southern Downs region would be made safer.

"Under the Black Spot Program $663,400 will be directed to target traffic safety concerns in the Southern Downs," he said.

"Traffic crashes and injuries have occurred at these identified black spots so this funding will be directly targeted to make these dangerous locations safer."

The projects will be delivered during the 2015-16 financial year.
