Melbourne area

Maintaining our roads is an essential part of keeping millions of people and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of freight on the move across Victoria.

We regularly inspect roads and carry out emergency repairs as needed, while more extensive works, such as road rebuilding and rehabilitation, are delivered during the warmer, drier months from September to May to ensure repairs are long-lasting.

We will update this page with the new program of resurfacing and rehabilitation in the coming weeks.

Current works

While our major road rebuilds occur during the warmer months, maintaining the road network is a year-round priority. We’re delivering more proactive maintenance during the cooler months when roads experience the greatest stress from rainfall and flooding. 

Our crews are out every day inspecting roads for hazards and defects, repairing potholes, surface issues and damaged signs, cleaning gutters and drains, mowing and clearing litter. 

Throughout the winter period, we’re doing more works to keep our main freeways open and keep people and freight on the move.  

We’ve got additional crews on the network repairing damage caused by recent rain and delivering emergency repairs where and when they’re needed. While the weather is cooler, we’ll continue to deliver increased levels of proactive works to protect against rain and flooding, ensuring our roads stand up to the growing levels of extreme weather we’re seeing.

A roadside cleaning blitz is also underway across Melbourne’s busiest freeways. Crews are hard at work cleaning and restoring roadsides, including extra mowing, rubbish removal, graffiti removal and vital repairs.

Western Roads Upgrade maintenance 

We’re delivering important road maintenance on the Western Roads Upgrade in Melbourne’s western suburbs.
