The $780 million State Government investment will rebuild and repair more than 365 kilometres of roads across Victoria.

Workers will spend the next eight months delivering more than 290 individual projects.

Crews will perform more than 1,300 individual road projects, patch thousands of potholes and repair 20,000 roadside signs.

The works include polishing the roads, and ensuring bridges, culverts, retaining walls, traffic lights, signs and other structures are up to date.

Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas said the rollout was beneficial for residents who relied on the specific roads.

“The roads across our region are critical in getting Macedon Ranges residents where they need to go and keeping them on the move,” she said.

An additional $3.2 million of funding will be invested in developing regional roadsides including mowing, weed spraying and graffiti removal work.

Roads Minister Ben Carroll said the upcoming works would meet with the state’s road network to rebuild key routes in the regions.

“Right across the state, crews will begin repairing and rebuilding the roads that regional Victorians rely on most, connecting people with employment and education opportunities, key freight routes, family and friends,” he said.
