June 1st, 2022Road blitz

The state’s annual regional road maintenance blitz has gone over and above its original target, delivering more than 1500 kilometres of rebuilding and repair works across Victoria.
From Mildura to Morwell, crews have worked tirelessly to rehabilitate, repair, and resurface some of the state’s busiest and more important transport and travel routes, including the Western Highway, Wimmera Highway, Hamilton Highway, Hume Highway, Goulburn Valley Highway, Bass Highway and Princes Highway East.
Works currently underway on the Loddon Valley, Melbourne-Lancefield Road and the Murray Valley Highway are set to wrap up shortly, signaling the end of the blitz which has swept across Victoria, guaranteeing smoother and more reliable journeys.
On top of these works, crews have also replaced more than 30,000 signs, inspected thousands bridges and culverts, mowed more than 30,000 kilometres of roadside grass and responded to hundreds of out-of-hours calls from the public.
