The Allan Labor Government has completed its $964 million 2024/25 road maintenance program, repairing, resurfacing, and rebuilding hundreds of kilometres of roads across Victoria.

The program, which wraps up this month, aimed to deliver more reliable journeys for local drivers, tourists, and freight operators. Crews worked across the state, inspecting roads and responding to calls from communities 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
As part of the program:
- More than 211,000 potholes were repaired.
- Over 50,000 kilometres of grass was mowed or slashed.
- Almost 41,000 road signs were repaired or replaced.
- 20,727 square metres of graffiti was removed from the road network.
- More than 8,000 road structures, including bridges and culverts, were inspected.
- Over 3,000 safety barriers were repaired on major highways.
Approximately 70 per cent of the program was delivered on roads and roadsides in regional Victoria. Major works were carried out on key routes including the Great Alpine Road, Mallee Highway, Monaro Highway, Surf Coast Highway, and Western Highway.

The works aimed to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency for all road users, including freight operators who rely on these routes for transport and delivery.
Later this year, work will continue under the Victorian Budget 2025/26 Better Roads Blitz, which includes a record $976 million investment to maintain and repair roads. The upcoming program will focus on delivering long-term solutions, with rehabilitation and resurfacing works prioritised to extend the life of the road network.
This continued investment forms part of the state’s commitment to ensuring Victoria’s roads remain safe and functional for years to come.
