Major roads in Sunbury and Macedon Ranges are set to receive repair works as part of a statewide maintenance blitz.
Roads and Road Safety Minister Melissa Horne said the state government will invest $964 million towards rebuilding, repairing, and resurfacing roads across Victoria.
“Crews will be out delivering $2.6 million of works every day for a year – with around 70 per cent of all funding going towards our regional roads,” Ms Horne said.
These include works on Gisborne-Kilmore Road and Tylden-Woodend Road in the Macedon Ranges.
In a survey published by RACV earlier this year, Tylden-Woodend Road was the second most-voted dangerous road and Gisborne-Kilmore Road was third.
On Gisborne-Kilmore Road, works will be performed between Mount Eliza Road and Melbourne-Lancefield Road and between Campbell Road and Pierce Road.
Works on Tylden-Woodend Road will be completed near Chanters Lane and Harpers Road.
Kilmore-Lancefield Road and Heathcote-Kyneton Road were also marked for upcoming maintenance.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said that repairing routes like Gisborne-Kilmore Road and Kilmore-Lancefield Road will mean “smoother trips for our community and for the tourists heading out to enjoy our stunning Macedon Ranges.”
In Sunbury, maintenance works were confirmed for Vineyard Road between Obeid Drive and Elizabeth Drive and the Gap Road between Pasley Street and Anderson Road.
According to the state, a complete list of projects has not been confirmed as resurfacing and other maintenance work will be decided based on immediate needs.
